The forecast for Seattle looks promising for those tired of wearing coats and scarves, with a warm-up on the horizon, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to gradually rise this week, reaching a comfortable high near 70 this weekend. As reported by NWS Seattle, today's weather will remain mostly sunny with a high near 55, while tonight, Seattleites can expect partly cloudy skies and a low around 40.

NWS Seattle's latest update suggests a mostly sunny Friday, with a forecast high near 61 and mild north northeast winds. Residents looking forward to the weekend should prepare for a spectacular Saturday and Sunday. "Mostly sunny, with a high near 70," reads the NWS Seattle report for both weekend days, offering a reprieve from the colder temperatures experienced earlier in the month. In a statement obtained by the National Weather Service, the wind will stay steady around north 5 mph for the most of the Saturday.

Looking ahead, the clear skies seem set to stick around until early next week. Monday promises more sun and a high nearing 66 degrees, while that night, the skies are expected to stay mostly clear with a low around 48. Tuesday will continue the trend of mostly sunny skies and a high near 65, according to the latest reports from NWS Seattle.

By midweek, however, there is a slight shift in the weather pattern. "A slight chance of showers," whispers the forecast for Tuesday night, which might bring a minor interruption to the stretch of clear skies. Even so, Wednesday will offer a chance of showers while remaining partly sunny with a high near 58. As Seattle transitions into spring, these temperate days are a welcoming sign of the season's change—ushering in more daylight and, for many, an uplift in spirit.
