Today, the National Weather Service predicting "Mostly sunny, with a high near 58. Southwest wind around 7 mph". According to a forecast, the comfortable weather is to briefly pause as nighttime approaches, bringing partly cloudy skies and temperatures dipping to a low near 41 degrees. The usual southwest wind is to stick around, gently shifting to light and variable come nightfall.

Thursday promises to deliver an encore of sunshine, it's slated to be "Sunny, with a high near 63. North northwest wind 6 to 8 mph." and Thursday night is to remain "Mostly clear, with a low around 45. North northwest wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable in the evening.", as the National Weather Service reported.

As Friday rolls around, the forecast tosses a little uncertainty into the mix, with a cloudy sky and a 30 percent chance of rain after 11 am. With a tentative high near 65 degrees. The imminent weekend, on the other hand, isn't looking quite as forgiving. With a 70 percent chance of rain, come Friday night. If the rainfall reaches the forecast's predicted between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, those well-acquainted with Seattle's wet reputation won't be the least bit surprised.

By the weekend, the National Weather Service does not only foresee a rain likely Saturday with a high around 57 degrees but also a mostly cloudy dance through the weekend and into the beginning of next week. The forecast paints a pattern of consistency; Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all set to present themselves with showers and highs steadfast in the mid-50s. The National Weather Service advises for a "mostly cloudy" stretch with "rain likely" each day.
