Seattle Area Braces for First Fall-Like Storm This Week

The Seattle area is under Pinpoint Alert Days on Wednesday and Thursday as its first fall-like storm of the season arrives, bringing light morning showers, heavier inland rain, and gusty winds of 20–35 mph (stronger along the coast); isolated thunderstorms are possible near the coast. Rain totals generally 0.25–0.75 inch in the Puget Sound region, higher along the coast and foothills, with a risk of localized flooding near burn scars. Highs stay in the 60s, with a cool start to next week trending drier and closer to average.
