Mild November continues as week kicks off with scattered showers, low 50s

All right. All right. Today is a good cleaning day because it is going to be rainy outside. 50 degrees currently in Everett, where 52 in Arlington, some upper 40s currently Bremerton and also in Shelton, 47 degrees Port Angeles. Not your imagination that November has been feeling fairly mild so far because really the first two weeks, for the most part, has been well above average. As you can see, we are going to see a little bit of a cooling trend for the upcoming week, though. Those temperatures will be dropping in. into the low 50s really for much of the upcoming work week. As far as rainfall, we're continuing to sort of make some progress toward the average November rain. We typically get a little bit over six inches. Right now we're about a two and a third of an inch, so making our way there. We still have a good two weeks left to go. We've had some rain since midnight, about a tenth of an inch coming down in parts of Everett, Seattle, Olympia, about a third of an inch as you get over toward The coastline and more to come throughout the rest of the day today. The winds were gusty as that cold front were coming on shore. We did see some winds in excess of 40 miles an hour, especially through the straight there around Whidbey Island, Friday Harbor, Bellingham, 43 mile an hour gusts. Those winds will continue to be breezy through the day today, but we'll relax as we get into tonight and into the day on Monday. A live look at the Doppler radar. We continue to see some scattered showers. Most of the steady rainfall has moved just to the east side there. So we're talking cascade foothills. And right now the snow levels are relatively high, but that cold air will push them down tonight to right around 3,500 feet. So the possibility for a few light flurries and some couple inches up there will be possible. Nothing too impactful for the roads. We even have some moderate to heavy downpours of rain kind of still embedded with some of these showers. It will continue to to dry out as we get into next week. So today will likely be the wettest day of the week. Tomorrow we'll hold on to some scattered showers, mainly in the morning. And then after that, the trend is going to be drier, especially for Thursday and Friday. As we check out that sunset tracker, we're still losing time. Unfortunately, it's feeling darker each and every day. We'll be at 418 by the time we get into about three weeks from now on December 6th. And that is going to be some of the earliest sunsets we see. Of course, that is typically very common as we get closer to that winter solstice. Outside for today, breezy showers in the lowlands. We've got that rain-snow mixture that will be possible, especially as we're watching the snow levels come down a bit in the higher elevations of the mountains and still continue to be breezy with some showers around the coastal regions as well. Improving conditions for the upcoming week, those scattered showers lingering a bit into Monday morning, but after that, skies are going to dry. There is a stray chance for some showers, There's very slight chance for Wednesday, but after that, we should We should be in pretty good shape. Overnight temperature is going to feel quite a bit cooler, though, dipping into those 30s.
