Brief break from rain before atmospheric river takes aim at western WA

Consider Thursday a break in between weather systems in the Pacific Northwest. There are continued lingering rain showers this morning as we catch the tail end of the most recent system. The next system arrives early tomorrow afternoon.

Expect mostly cloudy conditions with some breaks for sunshine. Overall, temperatures hover the low 50s, just a couple degrees cooler than it was Wednesday afternoon.

This will be closely followed into the weekend by an atmospheric river, making it a soggy weekend.

Sunset times are slowly creeping closer to the 6:00 hour. By March, following Daylight Saving, sunset times will be past 7 p.m.
