The National Weather Service in Seattle forecasts a change in the skies from the overcast morning to brighter afternoons in the days ahead. As the region shakes off the early cloud cover, temperatures are expected to reach the mid-70s. This afternoon, the calm wind will shift north-northwest around 6 mph. The weather shift is coming after a cool start to the day, with a humidity level of 77% and a dew point of 55°F early this morning, according to the NWS update at 04:05 AM PDT.
Tonight, Seattle residents can expect an increase of the clouds with a low around 58, while the north wind, circling at about 6 mph, is set to become calm after midnight. In the days following, the forecast suggests more clouds, but they will eventually give way to mostly sunny skies with comparable high temperatures in the low 70s and light winds, signaling a pattern of calm weather throughout the week.
A potential shift in the weather pattern is projected for the weekend, with the NWS indicating a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11 am on Saturday. The volatility continues into the night as the chance of showers and thunderstorms lingers before turning to a possibility of rain after 11 pm. Weekend temperatures are expected to remain consistent, with highs near 71 and lows around 58. Those planning weekend activities should keep an eye on the weather forecast for updates.
Looking further ahead, the forecast from the NWS calls for a continuing chance of rain on Sunday, mainly before 11 am, followed by partly sunny conditions and a high once again near 72. The pattern of occasional rain and clouds interspersed with clear skies appears to persist into the early days of next week, with Monday and Tuesday also projected to have partly sunny days and highs in the low 70s. The consistent pattern suggests that the residents of Seattle will experience a typical end to their summer weather, with mild temperatures and intermittent precipitation.
