Seattle weather: Soggy and cloudy for Mother's Day

Yahoo12-05-2025
SEATTLE - Pockets of heavy rain and even lightning strikes are a possibility for Mother's Day in Seattle. Make sure to keep a rain jacket and umbrella close by.
Highs will lift from the upper 50s to the low 60s in Seattle on Sunday afternoon. If you have plans to celebrate the mother figures in your life, I'd suggest having a 'plan b' for going inside should soggy and stormy weather develop.
Any thunderstorms will be isolated in nature. While rain may make driving difficult, we're not expecting storms to be anywhere near the "severe" threshold.
Tomorrow, there's a slightly better chance of thunder, but the possibility is still small. Monday will be a weird weather day: at times there could be sunbreaks. At other points, it might be damp.
On Tuesday, we'll likely manage to have a dry day. Isolated showers are possible on Wednesday. Thursday might be dry during much of the day before showers return in the evening.Showers linger on Friday. Wetter weather may be in store for Saturday. Stay tuned for the latest on your forecast. This outlook is subject to change.
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mother figures out there!Warmly, Meteorologist Abby Acone

Virginia braces for Hurricane Erin's offshore punch

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin provides a weather update ahead of Hurricane Erin impacts on the commonwealth. (Photo by Shannon Heckt/Virginia Mercury) Hurricane Erin continues to churn up the East Coast, whipping up dangerous waves and winds even as it stays offshore. The storm is not expected to make landfall, but Virginia is preparing for rough waters, tropical-storm-force gusts, and bands of heavy rain as warnings go into effect. Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday updated the public on the storm's potential impact expected for Thursday morning. Hurricane Erin is a massive storm, already being felt along South Carolina's Outer Banks Wednesday evening, capable of throwing tropical weather across several states. 'We also are seeing coastal floods watches announced across the whole region as we see the tidal flooding risk really enhanced,' Youngkin said. 'This is a dangerous storm, and because of the size of this storm, even though it is offshore, we will see rain bands that will bring heavy rain.' The governor said first responder resources are staged in Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore in case swift water rescues are needed. Utilities and the Virginia Department of Transportation are also prepared to clear fallen trees and restore services as tropical-storm-force winds arrive. 'We also have asked state police to preposition resources, and that includes boats and crews on the Eastern Shore into Hampton Roads, particularly and on this side of the tunnel to make sure that we have adequate resources who can move quickly should they be needed, and we also have our aerial support through helicopters and our fixed-wing capabilities,' Youngkin said. As of Wednesday evening, bridges and tunnels as well as the Jamestown ferry were expected to remain open, though conditions could force changes if the storm worsens. Virginia Department of Emergency Management Director John Scrivani urged the public to steer clear of beaches and keep boats off the water until Erin passes. 'There is going to be dangerous marine conditions, rip currents, tidal flooding, beach and dune erosion, as well as those hazardous seas,' Scrivani said. 'That's why you see those warnings over water, not just over land. Outer rain bands can impact the coastal areas. We do not anticipate much impact as we get further inland.' Flood-prone coastal communities are being told to stay alert. So far, there have been no evacuation orders, voluntary or mandatory, and no emergency declaration. The governor said his team continues to monitor the storm's track and is ready to adjust if needed. 'I believe what we have staged is sufficient for what we are currently expecting. If circumstances change then we will react very quickly,' Youngkin said. 'Often an emergency declaration is paired with utilization of the Virginia National Guard, and moving even more resources, and at this point, we see such extensive resource capability in the Hampton Roads region. And with the state assets we've already moved, we do believe we're reacting appropriately.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
