A serious "autumn" front will reach the Northwest coast tomorrow night, bringing regional rain and a reduction of local wildfires.
A front that arrives one day before the official start of autumn on Monday morning.
The visible satellite image this afternoon shows the front offshore (indicated by the red arrow).
This front has our name on it
A 5 AM Sunday morning, rain from the front will be moving through western Washington.
And by 11 AM Sunday, the frontal rain will reach eastern Washington, with residual showers over the western slopes of the Cascades.
The forecast total through 5 PM Sunday is healthy for September, with up to an inch in the mountains. This rain, combined with the 60s through most of next week, will reduce wildfire activity substantially.
Talking about temperatures....western Washington will cool into the upper 60s on Sunday (see forecast below), warm into the 70s for a few days, followed by a sustained decline, with highs remaining in the 60s. There will be a feeling of autumn in the air.
