Discussion:
Showers will still be around early on Saturday, but they should decrease to just a few showers mixed with some sun as a broad ridge of high pressure in the Gulf of Alaska moves closer to the coast.
A stronger system moves over the high-pressure Monday and spreads steady rain into western Washington during the day. The rain should turn to off and on showers later Monday afternoon.
On Tuesday the high pressure in the Gulf of Alaska will move close enough to the coast to end the showers in the morning with clearing in the afternoon. Right now, it looks like we might see a couple of dry days for Wednesday and Thursday of next week with temps in the mid 50s. .
Daylight saving time comes to an end at 2 a.m. on Sunday. We "fall back" to standard time. While sunset falls back to before 5 p.m., we gain an extra hour of sleep.
Also, when the clocks change, it's a good time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Seattle's sunrise Sunday morning will be at 6:57 a.m. and sunset time will be at 4:47 p.m.
