Mass: Half-and-half weekend, then not so pretty next week

If you liked the light rain falling this morning, you'll get a bit more on Saturday, and possibly Sunday morning, says Cliff Mass, professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington.

On the other hand, if you're looking for some good outdoor times, Mass says we should dry out Sunday afternoon.

“Later on Sunday should be the best time of the weekend,” he said.

And Monday could be gorgeous, but not too warm.

“The temperatures won’t be torrid. They’ll be only into the mid-60s,” said Mass.

And about next week, Mass has “really bad news for everybody.”

Mass says we’ll see showers on and off for much of next week.

“There’s normally a May warm period. Well, it looks like we’ve had it, and now we’re going to switch into the cooler pattern,” he said.
