It’s not summer yet. Cool rain to return to Olympia midweek

Olympia Farmers Market shoppers should be prepared to get wet this week -- as these shoppers did in June 2012 -- because rain and cooler temperatures are moving into the area.

If you got out all your summer clothes over the weekend, you got ahead of yourself.

Damp, cool weather returns starting Wednesday and will stay for three or four days, according to weather forecasters. Friday is likely to be the coldest, wettest day, and there will be a chance of thunderstorms. The high on Friday isn’t even expected to reach 60.

Temperatures will dip low enough across the Cascades and northern Rockies for the precipitation that moves in to fall in the form of snow, but snow levels should stay above the major passes, according to AccuWeather.

Gusty winds will whip in with the cool weather.

But don’t lose heart. Forecasters expect surging temperatures and drier weather to return by late in the weekend. And Monday’s high temperature is expected to hit 80.
