The weather in Seattle takes a moody turn as a mixture of clouds and clear skies dictate the week's forecast, a notable shift from the city's usual rain-draped image. According to the latest update from NWS Seattle, temperatures are edging towards the higher fifties with today's high aiming for 57, following a chilly morning of 43°F and a humidity reading that wraps around the city like a damp cloak at 86%. While winds choose to rest for now, the city should expect them to blow gently from the northwest as the day progresses.

As the night draws in, the skies will part just enough to herald a low of around 41, while a northeast wind ushers in the evening at around 7 mph. The weekend maintains a subtle dance between sun and cloud cover, leading into a Sunday that is expected mostly cloudy and then gradually clears up, promising a higher peak at 58, making way for a night that tucks the city in with a low of about 43 amid a tranquility only broken by light variable winds. The Monday morning promises a largely sunny disposition with a temperature high nearing 62 degrees as a south breeze whispers into life.

Tuesday brings with it the hint of warmer climes, climbing to a near 64 before the narrative of the week twists once again, clouds billow in the evening sky forecasting rain likely after 11 pm. Wednesday doesn't shy away from this trend setting up an overture of rain, wielding a drop in the mercury to 51, a stark contrast from Monday's caress. The week looks to close with a sporadic display of rain chances and partial sunshine with temperatures hovering in the low fifties, a relentless theme echoing the unpredictability of the Pacific Northwest.

Residents and visitors alike can expect to transition out of the workweek under a watchful sky that reserves the right to drench at will, clear at whim, and cool as it pleases, for Friday, although it may tease with a mostly sunny facade a slight chance of rain cannot be ruled out with a predictable high of approximately 55 degrees.
