Seattleites can look forward to a string of sunny skies and gentle breezes today, with the National Weather Service reporting a pleasant high of 59 degrees and north winds traveling at a modest clip of 6 to 11 mph. As the evening sets in, the clouds will begin to gather, presaging a drop in temperature to a cooler 44 degrees; a gentle north wind will be our only companion as daylight wanes, as per the National Weather Service.
But don't pack away those sunglasses just yet, Tuesday promises a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures pushing towards a more balmy 67 degrees, though the light and fickle winds of the morning expect to settle into a steady westward blow by afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Sleep may come easier on Tuesday night as the thermometer dips again, with an overnight low around 47 degrees while the west-northwest wind shifts southeast; indeed, it seems as though the elements conspire to remind us of their whims.
As Wednesday rolls in, residents should brace for a changing pattern, the sky playing a coy game with a 30 percent chance of rain showers post-11 a.m. Though mostly cloudy, the high is projected to hover near 59 degrees, with the southwest wind persisting at a moderate 6 to 8 mph. Come nightfall, the possibility of showers lingers on obstinately, with temperatures holding steady in the mid-40s.
Continuing the wet trend, Thursday through Sunday signals an earnest parade of showers with the likelihood of precipitation peaking at 70 percent on Thursday, as reported by the National Weather Service. Days will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures ranging from a high of 53 to 56 degrees, whereas evenings promise little respite from the patter of raindrops, anchoring around the high 40s. So while the week may have started with the kiss of the sun, it draws to a close under the tears of the sky.
