Seattle residents can expect a wet week ahead according to the National Weather Service in Seattle. The region is forecast to see regular showers, with today being no exception. As NWS Seattle predicts, showers are likely after noon with a high near 50 degrees and an 80% chance of precipitation. Less than a tenth of an inch of new precipitation is possible.

The overcast conditions and damp outlook extend into the evening. The NWS Seattle forecasts "Showers, mainly before 10pm," with lows dipping to around 43 degrees. A light south wind around 8 mph won't do much to alleviate the wind chill, which could feel closer to 39 degrees. Through Sunday night, the chance of showers drops to 30 percent, and the skies are expected to remain mostly cloudy.

The pattern of potential showers and mostly cloudy skies will persist through the week. Monday holds a 30 percent chance of rain after 11 am, with similar conditions slated for Tuesday. Despite the gray veil, temperatures are predicted to inch toward a high of 59 degrees by Tuesday.

Some reprieve is in sight midweek, with the NWS suggesting a partly sunny Wednesday. However, the likelihood of rain refuses to be banished entirely, as Thursday night carries a slight chance of showers. The trend continues into Friday, where once again, we see "A slight chance of showers" amid a partly sunny forecast with highs approaching the 58-degree mark.
