Seattle residents can finally stash away their umbrellas -- at least for a few days. According to the National Weather Service Seattle, it looks like the city is in for a rare stretch of sunny days. Today's forecast boasts clear skies with a high hovering around 57 degrees. The lightness of the wind, which will start off variable, is expected to settle into a north-northwest breeze clocking in at 5 to 10 mph as the morning progresses.

Tonight, the clear theme continues with temperatures dropping to a crisp 40 degrees. The winds intend to stay loyal to the north-northeast at a subtle 5 to 8 mph. Given by the National Weather Service Seattle, Thursday's and Friday's outlook seems to echo today's sunny sentiments, predicting highs of 61 and 67 degrees respectively, with the north wind keeping its steady pace.

As we roll into the weekend, things start to get a bit more unsettled. Saturday forecasts a 40 percent chance of rain after 11 am with partly sunny skies beforehand and a high near 63. Come Saturday night, the chances of rain escalate before 11 pm, followed by the possibility of scattered showers into the dark hours.

Looking ahead to the remainder of the weekend, Seattleites might want to keep their rain gear at arm's reach. While Sunday offers just a slight chance of showers before the clock strikes 11 am, the day will be partly sunny with a high nearing 58 degrees. The night follows with partial cloud coverage and a low of around 43. Come Monday and Tuesday, the city will see a mix of sun and clouds with highs of 63, and a sneak peek of showers could return by next Tuesday.
