Seattleites are in for a delightful string of sunny days with temperatures expected to rise comfortably, setting the stage for an indulgent stretch of late June weather. According to the National Weather Service, the city is basking in clear skies with a current reading of 59°F.
The city should expect a high near 78 degrees today with a soft breeze trickling in from the north northwest at a modest 5 to 11 mph, as evening approaches, the wind calms, mirroring the hush of night with temperatures dipping to a low of around 56 while north winds ease to a whisper between 5 to 9 mph but turning light and variable after midnight, as per the National Weather Service. Friday promises to up the ante with the mercury flirting with a high near 82, fanned by a northwest wind meandering at just 3 to 7 mph.
Into the weekend, the weather continues its charmed performance. Saturday's skies will don a partly sunny outfit, with the high near 78 degrees – a replication of Thursday's offer, except for a shifting ensemble of light and variable winds that will change into west-southwest whispers around 6 mph in the afternoon. As night falls, a cloak of mostly cloudiness settles in with an expected low around 56.
The pattern shifts subtly come Sunday; while still partly sunny, the high retreats to near 68, a softer touch on the skin than the preceding days – signaling Seattle's prudence, its refusal to indulge too recklessly in summer's warmth as the evening again draws in clouds with the low hovering at around 54, as reported by the National Weather Service. Consistency is the theme through to midweek, with daytime highs floating near 70 and nighttime lows nestled in the low to mid-50s, teasing at the possibility of showers by Wednesday, though chances remain as slight as the wind's caress., the rest of the week mirrors this gentle oscillation between partly sunny skies and the occasional embrace of clouds, suggesting a scenic dance with the elements.
While no showers are forecasted until the following Wednesday, where they're hinted at with the subtlety of a slight chance, this weather intermission presents Seattle residents an opportunity to savor the city's outdoors.
