Worth knowing today

Rain in Seattle should taper to scattered showers by mid-afternoon, with lowland totals a tenth of an inch or less — well short of the 1.27 inches that soaked this date in 1953 (records since 1948).

Cooler air settles in behind the front: Saturday tops out at just 58, and clear skies Sunday night drop Seattle to 45, with frost possible in colder valleys Sunday and Monday mornings.
cooldown · frost
The quiet stretch has a short shelf life — Tuesday ranges from 50 to 67 across the runs, a 17-degree fork that comes down to how early the next rain-and-wind front pushes ashore.
