BREMERTON, Wash. — For more than five decades, the USS Nimitz served as one of the most iconic aircraft carriers in American history— and for the last decade, she’s called Puget Sound her home. The Nimitz is the Navy’s oldest aircraft carrier and the first of its kind commissioned more than 50 years ago. When the Nimitz departed Bremerton for the final time this March, water cannons fired to mark the farewell.

You may want to bundle up if you’re attending a Memorial Day barbecue. A cold front moving across the area today will bring different weather compared to yesterday. Rain will move into the Seattle area around noon today, and with it, the area will notice an increase in wind. Rain showers and even a thunderstorm will be possible from midday through this evening throughout Puget Sound. Rain amounts today will vary from north to south.

SEATTLE — Our weather for the next few days will change hour by hour through Monday. The Memorial Day weekend won’t go down in the record books as a perfect weather weekend, but we do have one more day without rain before the next cold front moves in. Cloud cover has been very stubborn over Puget Sound today and kept temperatures cooler than expected. There is still a chance that sun will break through the clouds by the end of the day and boost our high to near 70.
