Lakewood Weather Forecast: More Wet Days Ahead

LAKEWOOD, WA — The streak of beautiful weather that kicked off December came to end this week, and rain clouds will be in the cards off and on for the near future, according to the National Weather Service.

While conditions Wednesday should be a bit less soggy than Tuesday, forecasters said there is a potential for a convergence zone in the Central Sound in the morning and afternoon, which could bring some bursts of heavy rain.

Most towns should catch a break during the day Thursday before another wet weather system brings in more lowland rain and mountain snow lasting through Friday. Early forecasts suggest more unsettled weather for the weekend and the possibility of heavy rain and mountain snow lasting into early next week.

Here's the 5-day weather outlook in Lakewood:

• Wednesday: 50°/34° (AM rain, then mostly cloudy)
• Thursday: 46°/34° (Mostly cloudy, then PM rain)
• Friday: 45°/33° (AM rain, then partly sunny)
• Saturday: 46°/38° (Chance of rain)
• Sunday: 48°/38° (Rain likely)

One area that looks to remain unseasonable is temperatures, which are expected to stay above normal until at least the end of the week. While a little cooler than last week, afternoon highs are forecast in the mid-to-high 40s, with overnight lows in the upper 30s or low 40s into next Tuesday.

Despite the wet weather on tap, so far, forecasters are not expecting flood dangers or other severe impacts. Details on potentially stronger systems this weekend will be shared as the forecast becomes more certain.
