National Weather Service Seattle WA
307 PM PDT Thu May 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Zonal flow and high pressure will dry out western
Washington the rest of Thursday. Mix of clouds of sun will
continue through Friday. A weak front will bring a chance of
showers Sunday. A much stronger late season atmospheric river will
bring moderate to heavy rainfall from Sunday into Tuesday. This
will cause some rivers to rise early next week, with flooding
possible. Temperatures will remain around average, with the
potential for a significant warm up late next week.

&&

.IMPACTS...Strong winds near the summit will make it difficult to
move safely and could produce local whiteout conditions. A high
level of skill and experience in alpine terrain, including use of
GPS, is recommended for navigation and camping in these
conditions.
