The forecast in Seattle is looking quite damp, with the National Weather Service predicting a series of showers and a potential rain-snow mix in the coming days. With a consistent cloak of clouds draped over the city, residents can expect temperatures hanging in the 40s. According to the National Weather Service update early this morning, there's a 90% chance for some rainfall today with up to a quarter of an inch possible.
Roads tonight could be wet, with a 40 percent likelihood of showers before the late night ekes past 1 a.m. Winds from the south picking up to 13 mph, could chill those caught outside. As per the National Weather Service report, "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 43" describes the latter part of this wet February day. The weather is decided; what remains seen is how Seattleites will navigate through it.
Thursday might offer a brief respite with only a 20 percent chance of morning showers, transitioning to a mostly sunny afternoon and highs hovering around 54 degrees. Lighter winds will ease the chill, with the evening settling down under partly cloudy skies and temperatures dipping to around 40. The NWS advises to make the most of this break in the rainy streak.
Heading into the weekend, the clouds insist on making their presence felt with temperatures mostly consistent, pegged near the low 50s during the day, and about 40 at night. "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 40" is how the NWS describes Friday night, though the stars might be playing hide and seek behind the stubborn cloud cover. The forecast for Sunday and into early next week hints at a colder, wetter turn, as Seattle may see a blend of rain and snow showers.
The city's weather rhythm marches to the beat of raindrops with the NWS forecasting rain again come Sunday, continuing the trend of cloudy, gloomy skies. Monday's forecast further chills spirits with the mention of both rain and snow showers, which echoes into Tuesday. It seems the Seattle skies are writing a soggy script with temperatures just cold enough to mix precipitation types, but not quite freezing.
