Tacoma Weather Forecast: Slightly Warmer With Sporadic Showers

TACOMA, WA —Fresh off one of the coolest June days recorded in Seattle, Puget Sound is poised for a gradual warm-up heading toward next weekend. However, a few clouds are sticking around and more rain showers are in the forecast.

According to the National Weather Service, Sunday's high of 55 degrees made for the lowest afternoon temperature seen in June in nearly a decade and landed just 4 degrees above the all-time record. The especially noticeable "Juneuary" conditions were in stark contrast with the beginning of the month, with highs dropping more than 30 degrees in just a few days.

While Monday saw some sun breaks and a lot less rain, afternoon temperatures stayed in the high 50s for most. The rest of the workweek looks to have a few opportunities for some sun, with varying chances for showers continuing for the foreseeable future. A return of the summer-like days that kicked off the month is unlikely for the near future, but afternoon weekday temperatures should improve to the mid-60s and potentially reach the low 70s by Saturday, according to the latest forecasts.

Around Seattle and Tacoma, Tuesday and Wednesday share a slight chance for morning showers and better odds in the afternoon, with some sun breaks nestled in between. Right now, that pattern looks likely to repeat itself Thursday and Friday.

Here is the 5-day weather outlook in Tacoma:

• Tuesday: 65°/46° (Showers likely - 70%)
• Wednesday: 65°/46° (Showers likely - 60%)
• Thursday: 66°/50° (Chance of showers - 40%)
• Friday: 63°/54° (Showers likely)
• Saturday: 70°/53° (Showers likely)
