San Franciscans staring out their windows this morning found themselves greeted by the familiar veil of an overcast sky. According to the National Weather Service, the grey expanse is expected to stick around for much of the day, bringing with it temps hovering just around a mild 60 degrees. The humidity levels, a clingy 81%, have set the stage for a day that feels more like a soft hug than the usual sharp slap of Pacific breezes.

As the afternoon rolls in, Seattle's residents can expect the south southwest winds to pick up slightly, hitting 11 to 13 mph, making for a typical blustery day in the Emerald City. Temperatures tonight are slated to drop to an agreeable 48 degrees. The wind is expected to quiet down to a light and variable whisper as the sun sets, offering a moment of respite before the Southeast takes up the mantle after midnight.

It seems the city's blanket of clouds isn't quite ready to say goodbye, as similar weather is set to continue into Sunday. The temperatures will make another appearance at around 60 degrees, with the south wind exchanging hellos and goodbyes as it turns northwest in the afternoon. Thus, those looking to enjoy outdoor plans might need to keep a light jacket on hand—a small concession for the persistent overcast.

Those betting on brighter days might find favor as the week progresses. Monday's forecast introduces partly sunny skies with temperatures inching towards the mid-60s, promising a gentle start to the workweek. As we edge closer to Juneteenth, the weather will graciously step aside to afford a sunny celebration, with temperatures soaring to a balmy 75 degrees. Following this, the night sky will clear up, possibly teasing stargazers with a view unobscured by the often-tenacious cloud cover.

The outlook stays favorable through to the tail end of the week, where Thursday and Friday are poised to delight with an almost uninterrupted sunniness and highs sticking in the high 70s. It's a fitting ascent into true summer warmth that Seattleites can look forward to, one that will make those overcast mornings nothing but a distant memory—or at least, until the clouds decide to return, as they are wont to do in this corner of the Pacific Northwest..
