Following thunderstorms in the Puget Sound, the National
Weather Service said there could be flash flooding across
Washington on Friday.
KING 5’s Lisa Van Cise said a good deal of lightning was
spotted south of Federal Way early Friday. The storms then
headed north.
Van Cise said she expected the storms would be confined to
the first half of the day and we’ll likely see sun breaks
in the late afternoon. Highs on Friday in the area will
run in the mid-60s to low-70s.
In Eastern Washington, there is a flash flood watch in
effect through Friday afternoon due to the severe weather
threat. Forecasters have said heavy rains could be
accompanied by damaging winds and large hail.
Saturday’s forecast shows a slight chance of showers in
the morning, moving to partly sunny with highs in the low
70s.
