Father's Day weekend soggy at times

The beautiful Friday across the area won't be repeated this weekend.

Expect a few, mainly light showers this morning across the area, especially north of Seattle.  

Rainfall amounts will be minimal in most areas, but skies will be mainly gray all day.  After a brief tapering of shower activity early this afternoon, more rainfall is likely late this afternoon through tonight as a cold front moves through.

Highs today will be in the upper 60s through lower 70s, and winds will be occasionally gusty out of the south and southwest.  The air will have a very muggy feel.

Showers will continue into Father's Day with the best chance of rain early in the day.  By afternoon, showers will taper in many areas with some sunbreaks.  However, a Puget Sound Convergence Zone will still bring some showers to areas of northern King and Snohomish counties through the late afternoon.   Highs will be in the mid-to-upper 60s.

Another disturbance arrives Monday with scattered to widespread showers.  It will also be noticably cooler with highs in the lower 60s.  Snow levels will fall to near 5,500 feet by late Monday.

Tuesday through the first day of Summer on Wednesday, showers will taper and temperatures will begin to rise once again.
