Good day, everyone.
Happy Thursday and happy Thanksgiving.
KING5 meteorologist Adam Claybon
here to talk about this evening.
And then if you were to be heading
out for Black Friday shopping,
the forecast for that and what we have in
store for the rest of the holiday weekend.
But today it's been a sunny what
we are still seeing that sun out
there looking live over Elliott Bay.
Right now here we are closer to
about 3:30 PM and Sun still up,
we can have a few clouds off into the
distance over the Olympics and those
will actually begin to pick up as we
go later into the night with our system
that will arrive heading into the day.
Tomorrow, with some rain chances ahead,
let's look at the sunshine
that we have in Olympia.
Seeing quite a bit there too,
just more of those upper
level clouds passing by,
more filtering the sunshine
rather than blocking it out.
But we are definitely going to see
a change when it comes to that as
we go later on here into the night.
So here's a look at the forecast
this evening,
going from partly clear to
mostly cloudy skies.
I think most mods,
especially near and South of Everett,
probably won't see any rain tonight.
We'll have to hold off until
through the day tomorrow before
those showers do start to arrive.
Those clouds will act as a
blanket to keep temperatures from
dropping off a whole lot tonight.
More in the lower 40s,
maybe a few upper 30s kind of here and there.
Here's a look at the sunshine
out there at Seatac Airport.
You're seeing the skies that are pretty
clear now driving conditions tonight,
skies just really becoming cloudy.
There is slight chance if you're going
over maybe more of Stevens Pass that
you'll get a few showers to start to pop up,
but I think the better chances are
heading into the day Friday and
you can see how the snow levels
drop from 7000 feet down to 4000
feet heading into Friday afternoon.
And into Friday evening.
So most of the day,
Friday,
especially if you're getting out early,
you're probably gonna be OK if you're
trying to head across the state.
But as we go deeper into the
evening and more so tomorrow night,
that's when we do start to see those
snow levels drop eventually below 4000 feet.
And by Saturday we're seeing around 2500
people or some of those snow levels.
And we'll see that the rain and
snow will start to pick up again
with another system that's coming
in behind that as the active weather
will stay around heading on into
the weekend for the low lands,
we'll see highs in the upper 40s,
near 50 for tomorrow and into
Saturday more than mid 40s.
Around for Sunday with showers
and Sun breaks expected,
but we are going to keep things
rather rather wet and definitely
won't be quite as dry and sunny as
we saw today.
Now here's your Apple Cup forecast.
Cougars going up against the Huskies.
That's going to be over in Pullman this year.
Temperatures starting off
in the mid to lower 30s,
not really dropping a whole lot
because of the cloud coverage,
but we were thinking there
could be some snow there.
That system has been showing
up slower on the model,
so it looks like we'll hold off on the
snow during the daytime after midnight,
though heading on into more of
early Sunday over there if you're
trying to head back over this way.
You will start to run into some of
that snow as that starts to pick up
there across Eastern Washington.
Here are your current temperatures
in the upper 40s and lower 50s
here on this Thanksgiving evening.
We'll see that skies will become a
lot more cloudy later into the night.
10:30,
though still a lot of us really
dry after midnight,
Olympic Peninsula starts to
get on some of the rain.
By tomorrow morning we're seeing the
rain moving through and then mid to
late morning across Puget Sound.
And heading into the early afternoon
will be the prime time that we really
start to see the rain come on down.
That's going to push on by and then things
start to quiet down into tomorrow evening,
so.
There's your break right there and
then we'll go on into the day Saturday
at 9:00 o'clock seeing just a few
showers mainly north of Everett,
maybe some of those better chances
too South of Tacoma as we go
deep into the afternoon.
But most of it will be staying N but
here we are into the nighttime hours,
not really seeing it fill in yet
across parts of central sound.
But it does as we go later on
into that night and into early
Sunday as that sweeps on through.
And there will be a little more
snow ahead for the Cascades
as that starts to push on by.
Here's your forecasted rainfall.
We expect that as we head
into Saturday morning.
About 1/4 of an inch to maybe 3/4
of an inch around most spots that
really seeing high high amounts
but some beneficial rainfall still
again coming across the area.
And then as far as the snow since
those snow levels are starting
up around 7000 feet,
not a huge issue across the passes.
And you can see by the time we head
into tomorrow at 7:00 PM that's that
first system is heading out of here.
About 2,
maybe 4 inches of snow from Snoqualmie
to Stevens Pass and then seeing
things not really picking up a whole
lot more into Saturday morning but
Saturday night into early Sunday.
We could see a little more that
snow start to pile up again here.
Our forecast and highs here for the
rest of your Thanksgiving low 50s.
We'll see highs here across parts
of Puget Sound in the low to mid 50s,
upper 50s around Redmond high as
farther S here South Sound seeing
more of those mid 50s across some
of those parts partly to mostly
clear skies. And then yeah,
here's your forecast for tonight,
a lot of 30s starting to pop
up across some of those areas,
especially over the Kitsap Peninsula
and Mason County and South Sound
where we have the clear skies
at first clouds moving in.
We'll keep a few of us though
quite a bit warmer.
Here's your forecast next seven days
calling for those highs to be in of the
40s continuing to drop just a bit more
as we head into your later Saturday,
Sunday and into Monday.
We're seeing highs back in the low 40s.
And it's early next work week that we
have an air mass that's gonna be cold
enough that it could support possibly
some low land snow in a few spots.
And we're not talking about anything
really too heavy or major with that,
just maybe some of that snow
mixing in with some of the rain.
So accumulation is not looking
to be likely as of right now,
but it does show that we're going to
see a shift from some of the sunnier
weather we've seen here throughout the day.
For today.
Take care everyone.
Hopefully you've had a great
Thanksgiving and had a great
time with family and friends and
loved ones here this afternoon.
Keep having a great evening.
We'll have more updates for you late tonight.
We don't have any shows on either
our evening shows on camp,
but we do have a 10:00 PM show on Kong
and an 11:00 PM coming up on King tonight.
So join us then.
Take care.
Happy Thanksgiving.
