The Seattle area braces itself for a smattering of spring showers and a glimpse of sun. Today, the chance of rain stands at 40 percent, mostly before the morning's end, with skies expected to clear as the day progresses. Temperatures are expected to peak at a modest 54 degrees, accompanied by a gentle breeze in the afternoon, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.
Tonight, stargazers can look forward to mostly clear skies, with the thermometer dipping to a cool 40 degrees. The winds should gradually ease into calming whispers by the night's end. Tomorrow, the city will see partly sunny skies, with high temperatures inching towards 59 degrees, while a south-southwest wind will gently nudge at around 7 mph.
As the week unfolds, Seattle's weather patterns continue to dance between sun and rain. A coastal palette of grays will define tomorrow night, which harbors a 30 percent chance of rain and sees temperatures hovering around 43 degrees. The Northeast wind is predicted to pick up after the stars claim the night sky.
The city will likely wake up on Thursday to a 20 percent chance of rain, but this should mostly clear up to reveal mostly sunny conditions and a day's high of a pleasant 62 degrees. North-northwest winds will persistently push forward at a speed of 5 to 7 mph. Soon after the sun sinks on Thursday, the night sky is expected to be mostly clear, with the mercury settling around 45 degrees.
The forecast for the end of the week and into the weekend suggests that rain will make its recurring cameo. Friday's chances of rain stand at 20 percent after the late morning, but the day is promised to be mostly sunny with temperatures climbing to around 66 degrees. The narrative shifts on Saturday, when rain becomes likely before midday and continues to be a possibility through Sunday night. Predicted highs and lows may oscillate between the 60s and high 40s during this period.
According to the National Weather Service's detailed forecast, by Monday, Seattle will once again see likely rain with mostly cloudy skies and a notable high hovering near 57. The consistent rainfall may not make for the most vibrant of spring canvases, but it certainly ensures the lushness that the Emerald City is renowned for.
