WeatherWatcher Rainy week ahead

The weather forecast for Lake Forest Park indicates a predominantly rainy week ahead, with approximately one inch of additional rainfall expected from Sunday evening to Tuesday evening. The weekend has already brought about a half inch of rain, contributing to the overall wet conditions. Following the initial downpour, a slight chance of showers will persist on Wednesday, which is expected to be the driest day of the week. As the week progresses, more rain is anticipated on Thursday, with steady rainfall returning by nightfall. A high-pressure system will likely provide a brief break from the rain from Friday to Saturday evening, possibly resulting in partly sunny skies.

Throughout the week, temperatures are projected to hover in the mid to upper 40s, with nighttime lows dipping into the upper 30s. Looking ahead, the long-range forecast suggests a continuation of typical Pacific rainstorms, with a dry pattern expected beyond early February. The unusual winter weather patterns this year raise questions about the likelihood of a snow event during this La Niña winter.
