Seattle residents, don't pack away your rain gear just yet. The city is in for a spate of showers and cloudy skies, providing little reprieve over the Memorial Day weekend, the agency reported. The forecast suggests a damp start today with a 70% chance of rain, mainly before 10 a.m. and potential breaks in precipitation until Tuesday, when the rain returns with an 80% chance of dampening the city, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.

The temperature throughout the week will hover in the upper 50s to low 70s, getting slightly warmer towards the weekend. Despite, a mostly cloudy Memorial Day, spirits may be lifted by a forecasted high of a near 69 degrees. Looking ahead, Wednesday threatens to stir up the skies with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon, though clearer outlooks are on the horizon with a mostly sunny Thursday and Friday.

Overnight conditions will consistently dip to around the 50-degree mark, so while the days may be gray, the evenings aren't expected to be too chilly. Tonight's low is around 50 degrees, with a south wind of 5 to 9 mph, keeping things brisk but bearable for any late-night festivities.

For those planning outdoor activities, nights may offer a better chance at staying dry. Wednesday night's forecast suggests showers and thunderstorms are likely before 11 p.m, bringing possibly the last of the significant rainfall for the week. The weather is set to take a brighter turn on Thursday, with mostly sunny conditions and highs climbing up to 63 degrees, promising a more pleasant end to the week for Seattleites.
