Seattle residents are in for a wet week ahead as forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) predict a steady stream of rain for the region, with overcast skies and temperatures hugging close to the 50-degree mark. "It’s a wash, rinse, repeat setup with all these different waves coming through," meteorologist Harrison Rademacher told The Seattle Times, emphasizing the relentless pattern of precipitation expected to continue for days.
According to the same report, a succession of weather systems is lined up to douse the Pacific Northwest every 24 hours or so while Tuesday may offer a brief respite in the afternoon despite another system poised to hit overnight into Wednesday, Wednesday's forecast points to rain engulfing the area; a front that will "park itself above the region," making for a notably wet day. The NWS Seattle, through its latest update on Twitter, showcased a video of the incoming weather system further illustrating the unsettled conditions on the horizon.
The local weather office at Boeing Field - King County International Airport indicated that humidity levels are high, and wind chills have dipped down to the low 40s, evidence of the cold, clammy embrace that has taken hold of the city. Further detailed forecasts present a high likelihood of rain persisting through the latter part of the week, with Seattle expected to accumulate approximately an inch of rainfall by Friday, a development that would follow on the heels of an already saturated season.
Seattleites can anticipate highs to teeter "pretty comfortable" in the vicinity of 50 degrees, according to the NWS, a semblance of normalcy in the aftermath of recent colder temperatures, the easing of the mercury coincides with the unabating sweep of rain systems that, while keeping the frost at bay, have fostered a gray, dripping landscape that is becoming all too familiar for the northwest denizens. As the week progresses, expect showers to accentuate, with the likelihood of rainfall not abating till at least the weekend, when temperatures are projected to rise very slightly, encroaching upon the mid-50s.
