The weather will be fairly quiet for Christmas Eve, but active weather returns just in time for Christmas. For today, there will be partly sunny skies, occasional showers and a stray, weak thunderstorm. It’ll be slightly breezy. Temperatures in Seattle will range in the upper 40s to low 50s on Tuesday afternoon.

An atmospheric river will move into Western Washington from Christmas Day to Thursday, bringing heavy rain, wind and mountain snow.

FOX 13 Meteorologist has your 7-day forecast, including which areas will see a white Christmas and where snow won't fall across western Washington.

The weather outside on Christmas will, in fact, be frightful as storms roll into the region. Back-to-back storms beginning Tuesday night will bring rain and wind on Christmas on Wednesday, and more will occur into the end of the week for post-Christmas travel as well.

For the next few days, expect rain, snow (for some) and that general murkiness that makes you question if the sun exists.
