Stormy weather is set to hit Friday through the weekend as a series of weather systems take aim at the Pacific Northwest.
Thursday will feel a lot like Wednesday, with partly to mostly sunny skies in the afternoon. Temperatures will remain below average, in the mid 50s.As a ridge of high pressure moves east, strong gap winds will develop in the Cascades. Areas like North Bend, Enumclaw, and Gold Bar could see strong easterly gusts through the Cascade gaps during the day Friday. Gusts of 40-45 mph are possible.The next round of widespread rain will arrive Friday night into Saturday morning.
On the back end of that wet system will be more gusty wind, this time coming from the south. Areas in the north Puget Sound could see gusts up to 55 mph, while the central and south Puget Sound will see gusts in the 30-40 mph range. There are still plenty of leaves on the trees, so isolated power outages are possible.A deep trough will bring in cooler air to start next week, dropping snow levels. We could see our first snow of the season at Snoqualmie Pass by the middle of next week.
