Seattle residents can look forward to a sunny disposition from the sky over the next several days. Following a National Weather Service report that promises an upward climb in temperatures with highs potentially soaring into the mid 60s to lower 70s. There's nary a chance for rain insight until midway through next week, allowing the Emerald City to embrace a streak of mostly clear days.

The Northwest's largest metropolitan area woke to a crisp morning with temperatures floating at 45°F, the humidity was sitting comfortable at 75%, while the very essence of calm manifested in a wind still at 0 MPH. As forecasted for the rest of today, Seattle is set to bask in mostly sunny skies with climbing temperatures that may peak in the upper 50s to mid 60s, the National Weather Service reported an expected north wind blowing 10 to 20 mph.

Nightfall does not spell the end for pleasant conditions, with tonight predicted to remain mostly clear as temperatures settle into the lower to mid 40s, the northern zephyr slowing to a gentle 10 to 15 mph gusts may reach 25 mph as evening descends but nothing to unsettle the Stardust. Over the weekend, sunshine reigns supreme; Saturday's forecast prescribes sunny skies and highs between the mid 60s and the lower 70s while the night is forecasted to be clear with lows lounging in the 40s.

Come Sunday, and the story remains as sunny as ever the city's naturally airbrushed canvas will keep on gifting daylight highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s, just as the dawn gives way to day, the gentle easterly wind shall rise to a modest 10 mph before becoming light. The stellar weather stretches into Monday, with clear skies and similar temperatures continuing the trend of what one might proclaim as an early gift from the heavens, the perfect time to venture outdoors or simply indulge in the novelty of not needing a raincoat in Seattle.

Change arrives cautiously on Wednesday, however, as the chance of showers creeps back into the picture, with the National Weather Service forecasting "a slight chance of showers in the morning, then a chance of showers in the afternoon." Highs are expected to dip to the mid to upper 50s, followed by a mostly cloudy night accompanying chances of additional showers.

The following day maintains the trend of increased cloud coverage and scattered showers, signaling an end to Seattle's sunny reprieve as temperatures hover in the lower to mid 50s. Yet for now, with the weekend upon us and the skies clear, Seattleites may rejoice in the small springtime pleasures that seem all too fleeting in this Pacific Northwest enclave.
