Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Marblemount, WA

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Widespread stratus is apparent on satellite early this morning thanks to continued onshore flow. A weak frontal system is still expected to drop into western Washington from the north later this evening, bringing light rain and through Tuesday morning. Light rain accumulations are expected, as well as high snow levels above 5,000 to 6,000 feet. Today is likely going to be the coolest day of the week, with highs in the upper 50s. Beyond Tuesday morning, expect some lingering showers in the Cascades, but generally drying conditions elsewhere.

An upper level ridge returns to the PNW by Wednesday, beginning a warming trend. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 60s, setting the stage for a warmer day still on Thursday.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Absolutely pleasant temperatures are expected on Thursday as highs climb into the upper 70s for much of Puget Sound and surrounding Cascade Valleys.
Even coastal locations will reach the upper 60s. Low 80s are expected in the southwest interior. Enjoy it, as temperatures will moderate somewhat into the upper 60s and low 70s on Friday as increased onshore flow resumes with the ridge moving east. This will allow the next frontal system to move into western Washington on Friday into Saturday. Exact track of the low will have implications on how much precipitation the region receives, but at this point in the forecast cycle, the forecast calls for the bulk of the rain to fall in the Cascades and northern Olympic coast.
