Seattle is gearing up for a classic Pacific Northwest week filled with showers, breeze, and the typical overcast skies. Starting today, Seattleites should expect a very certain chance of rain following a brief window of slight showers in the morning. Highs are tipping just under 50 degrees, whilst brisk south winds could reach speeds of 15 mph with gusts potentially whipping up to 26 mph. "Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible," the forecast notes, suggesting residents grab their raincoats before stepping out, as reported by the National Weather Service.
As the evening rolls in, the rain isn't planning to take a break until roughly around 11 pm, shifting to likely showers thereafter. Temperatures are predicted to hover around 43 degrees, somewhat tempered by breezy south-southwest winds which are set to gust as high as 29 mph. Seattlites should, once again, see rain dominate the weather scene Tuesday with uninterrupted showers expected to drench the city. Occasional gusts could freely reach up to 21 mph, reminding city dwellers to securely button their rain layers.
The National Weather Service offers a glimpse of respite Tuesday night with a mere 50 percent chance of showers, mainly hitting before the late hours and with snow levels starting at 2100 feet. The week continues with a mixed bag; Wednesday sees a minimal chance of showers in the morning, clearing up later to offer partly cloudy skies at night and a low of around 35 degrees.
Looking ahead, Thursday promises a glimpse of sun with temperatures making a surprising climb to 65 degrees. The city is poised to enjoy sunny days and clear nights, with Friday and Saturday slated to be the peaks, hitting an impressive high of up to 73 degrees. This sunshine stretch seemingly intends to firmly dispel any remnants of the earlier week's downpours, while night temperatures settle comfortably in the low 40s. According to the National Weather Service, Seattle's Sunday continues on this sunnier note with another day high of around 69 degrees.
