Sick of the dreary weather? Fear not—a big change is coming, says KPLU weather expert Cliff Mass.
“The cold and rain is going to turn into warmth and sun pretty soon,” says Mass, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Washington.
How soon? First, a front will move through, bringing more of the same wet and gray weather.
“And then on Sunday, we’re going to start really drying out,” says Mass, adding there may be a few showers in the morning, “but after that, the world changes completely.”
“Temperatures are going to move up and up, day by day,” he says.
Think: upper 50s on Sunday, lower 60s on Monday, mid-60s on Tuesday, upper 60s on Wednesday, “and it could even get into the 70s by Thursday,” says Mass.
And the warm weather will stick around until Saturday, making for what Mass calls an “extraordinarily warm period” with summer-like temperatures.
