After a soggy weekend, rain will slowly diminish through mid-week for the Seattle area.
The jet stream, a riverlike feature of fast winds in the upper atmosphere, is beginning to strengthen and dip farther south as the season changes. This is pulling more disturbances into the Pacific Northwest and will be the continuing trend.

The month of September has already been a soaker in the weather books. Seattle normally has about 1.5 inches in the month of September. As of Sept. 28, the gauge reads 4.78 inches.
Snow levels in the Cascades will lower to around 6,000 feet by Monday. Significant snow is generally expected to remain above pass level for most locations, so major travel problems are not anticipated due to the snow.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are expected to be dry with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
