The weather forecast for Seattle is looking bright and clear, according to the National Weather Service. As of the May 9th morning update, Seattleites can expect a sunny day with temperatures climbing to a comfortable high near 73 degrees. The gentle north wind breezing at 7 to 11 mph adds a touch of freshness to the air without the sharp bite often felt during the chillier months.

Tonight is predicted to stay mostly clear with the mercury dipping down to a low around 53 degrees, and those night breezes shifting slightly from northeast at a calm 5 to 9 mph. This pattern of sunny skies and warming trends is set to continue, with Friday's forecast indicating a high near 79 degrees and similarly mild winds. The National Weather Service also notes that Friday night will mirror the stellar conditions of its daytime, staying mostly clear with a low of 54.

The outlook for the weekend holds steady — Saturday's weather is nothing short of sunny with high temperatures nudging near the 78-degree mark. Calm winds are expected to pick up a notch, turning north northwest around 6 mph in the afternoon. Saturday night remains clear as well, as temperatures take expected plunge to a low near 52.

Looking ahead, Sunday offers up more sun with a high near 71, though a slight shift is on the horizon as Sunday night paints a more clouded picture with lows inching down to the lower 50s. The trend of partly sunny skies carries into the workweek, with Monday's high reaching towards 65 degrees. Temperatures for the earlier part of the week will hover consistently in the mid-60s during the day and low 50s at night, thus giving locals a stretch of moderate spring weather to enjoy.

Wednesday, however, could see the return of rain with only a slight chance disrupting the stretch of pleasant weather. Even so, the day is set to remain partly sunny with an expected high around 67 degrees, providing just a possible brief interlude to what is otherwise a forecast full of spring optimism.
