Scattered rain, thunderstorms possible in Seattle again Thursday
Seattle weather: Cooling off Thursday with isolated thunderstorms possible
FOX 13 Seattle Meteorologist Abby Acone has your Mariners Opening Day forecast.
SEATTLE - We’re forecasting yet another risk for thunderstorms around Western Washington on Thursday afternoon and evening. However, the threat today is less than what the region faced on Wednesday.
The weather models we use to make our predictions disagree about how much instability will be in the atmosphere later today: the amount of instability helps us determine the risk of lightning, hail, etc. In general, I’d be prepared for isolated to scattered pockets of heavy rain this afternoon and evening with some lightning and small hail embedded.
If you're going to the Mariners home opener today, I'd make sure to bring a warm rain jacket!
