Seattle residents might want to keep their umbrellas handy and their snow boots at the ready as the city faces a mixed bag of rain and snow showers in the coming days. The National Weather Service in Seattle is forecasting a series of wet and chilly conditions, with little to no snow accumulation expected. It's a typical temperamental transition into spring, with today's high hovering near a nippy 44 degrees and a 50% chance of rain showers following a brief morning flirtation with snow.

By tonight, the city will cozy up to a low of 34 degrees, while rain and snow showers dance across the sky with a likelihood of 60%. This pattern of precipitation is expected to carry on into the weekend, according to NWS Seattle, as Saturday warms up slightly with a high around 44, but brings a 70% chance of rain and snow showers turning all rain after 1pm. The skies are predicted to Seattle with mostly cloudy embraces, enveloping the city in a continuous cycle of unpredictable spring showers.

The forecast isn't all gloom, however; despite the Sunday and Monday predictions signaling a 60% and 80% chance of rain respectively, highs will maintain near that stubborn 44-degree mark. Each day brings promise of rain and snow showers.

Sneaking a peek at the coming week, the blend of rain and snow showers doesn't seem to be letting up. Tuesday onwards through to Thursday sees a stubborn persistence of chance for both rain and snow, though the sun might attempt a breakthrough against a partly sunny backdrop with highs crawling up to 46 degrees.
