Seattle residents can expect a wet week ahead with the National Weather Service forecasting a consistent chance of rain through next Thursday. The dreariness begins today with a 30 percent chance of precipitation, mainly before 10 am, and the possibility of the skies clearing for a brief respite. According to NWS Seattle, the city will see a high near 52 degrees Fahrenheit amidst mostly cloudy conditions.
The overcast atmosphere is slated to continue into tonight with similar odds of rain after 10 pm and low temperatures around 43 degrees. Come Saturday, the chance of rain spikes to a formidable 80 percent, as gusty south southwest winds reach up to 23 mph. Residents should be prepared for a wet weekend, with new precipitation amounting to between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Those counting on a dry Sunday will be disappointed, as the NWS reports a 90 percent probability of rain, which extends into Monday. Daytime highs will hover just shy of 50 degrees, while the nights are expected to stay in the low 40s. Each new day brings another round of showers coupled with cloudy skies, suggesting umbrellas and raincoats should be in easy reach for Seattleites.
The dreary weather pattern holds steady into the workweek with highs near 50 degrees and continuous chances for rainfall. Tuesday is no exception, as the region braces for more of the same cloudy and soggy conditions. A slight chance of rain could bring some variation to the weather script by next Wednesday night, with the forecast concluding on a partly sunny note by Thursday. The brief glimpse of sun might be just the reprieve locals need after a consistently soggy stretch.
