After a summer that saw record-breaking heat and dry conditions, meteorological fall has finally started in Western Washington. And while many residents are looking to get outside and enjoy the last of summer, state officials are urging caution due to wildfire risk.

While Friday will remain dry and warm with cloud coverage increasing through the day, chances for rain begin increasing Saturday afternoon as a cold front creeps into the area.

"A cold front will push onshore and into the region Saturday, with more widespread rain chances," the National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle wrote in their Friday forecast discussion. "Light measurable rain is likely across most of the area, though the front will likely be weakening and losing structure as it pushes inland. Highest rainfall totals will likely be along the coast and near the Canadian border, with lower amounts across the southeastern portions of the area."

Rain is expected to linger into early Sunday morning, which will see temperatures begin to dip into the low 50s in the morning. While the weekend might see some scattered showers, Labor Day itself is expected to be sunny and dry with highs in the mid 70s.

1. But that infringes on my freedums to burn things whenever I want.

Must be a deep state plot to enslave us all.
