A spring storm with heavy rain and wind hammered the Washington state coast on Saturday. Western Washington also saw rain and wind as a result.

Wind is expected to die down on Sunday. Scattered showers are likely, but forecasters say things will dry out into Sunday evening.

A ridge of high pressure moving in could push temperatures into the 70s to kick off the work week. Rainfall is expected to return on Tuesday.
