Seattle residents can anticipate a shift in weather patterns as the skies transition from a blanket of clouds to sunnier days ahead, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Seattle. Today's mostly cloudy morning is set to clear up, paving the way for a high near 67 degrees. Although the morning presents a humble South wind, speeds will jump, turning north-northwest this afternoon with possible gusts reaching as high as 23 mph.

The evening foretells a return to cloudiness with lows hovering around 49 degrees, while the North northeast wind eases up, taking on a light breeze post-midnight. NWS Seattle's latest report suggests that Wednesday will usher in sunshine and a comparable high of 65 degrees, with a gentle North wind blowing in comfort. Residents can look forward to a similar theme on Thursday, with a high of 69 foreseen under mostly sunny skies.

As the week progresses, forecasts indicate a slight disturbance in patterns with a 30 percent chance of showers by Friday afternoon. Despite the chance of rain, Friday's temperature will likely peak at a pleasant 66 degrees. Showers may continue into the weekend, particularly on Saturday, where they are pegged as likely, mainly after 11 am, with the clouds holding steadfast and the temperature peaking at 62 degrees.

Continuing into the weekend, the skies will bring sporadic showers Saturday night, followed by a likelihood of more rain on Sunday. However, predictions for the latter part of the weekend include partly sunny intervals, casting a high near 63. The tentative dance between showers and clearer skies stretches into early next week, with a slight chance of rain both Sunday night and Monday but also periods where the sun stakes its claim, pushing the high to an anticipated 66 degrees.
