After a couple of sunbreaks during the morning, increasing clouds developed through the afternoon as isolated showers became more widespread across Western Washington. Showers remained somewhat hit-or-miss early in the day before becoming more broadly scattered later Thursday afternoon and evening. Conditions also stayed slightly breezy at times, although winds were noticeably lighter compared to the stronger gusts experienced Wednesday. Afternoon high temperatures only climbed into the upper 50s to low 60s across much of the region. Looking ahead to Friday, cloudy skies and intermittent showers will continue across Western Washington as a cooler air mass settles into the region. Afternoon temperatures will likely struggle to climb beyond the low 50s, making conditions run well below average for mid-May. Periods of showers will continue into Saturday as temperatures remain cool, with highs expected in the mid-50s. While severe weather is not expected, there might be a spotty lightning strike at times between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as colder air aloft moves overhead. Snow levels will also lower enough for some accumulating snow across the higher mountain passes from Friday into the weekend. Travelers heading across the Cascades should stay updated on changing mountain conditions. By Sunday, conditions will begin to improve as drier weather gradually returns to Western Washington.
