Forecasters say we may see a thunderstorm before the end of Monday.

Rain mid-morning could continue and turn into thundershowers, according to KING 5 meteorologist Rich Marriot.

Temperatures are expected to be in the low- to mid-50s.

The threat of thunderstorms is returning with the arrival of spring. The combination of longer and warmer days and cooler air blowing in from the Pacific Ocean means a higher chance of unstable air and the peak of thunderstorm season, according to Ted Buehner, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service.

Rain is expected to last through Wednesday and then temperatures could warm up, according to KING 5. Temperatures could reach into the high 60s by the end of the week.
