Seattle residents can anticipate a wet start to their weekend, as the National Weather Service projects rain to persist until the early afternoon hours. With a 90% chance of precipitation and a forecasted high of 65 degrees, people venturing outside will do well to equip themselves with an umbrella and a waterproof layer. According to the NWS Seattle branch, "Rain before 2pm, then a slight chance of showers between 2pm and 4pm," indicating that while the intensity may wane, the chance of getting caught in light rain remains.
Tonight’s weather seems to offer a brief respite with just a 20 percent chance of showers before 10pm, followed by increasing clouds as temperatures hold steady around 57 degrees. For those making plans for Sunday, the NWS outlook suggests cloud cover in the morning which will give way to mostly sunny skies and a slightly warmer high near 71. The calming south-southwest wind will hover around 6 mph, marking a subtle shift in the weather pattern.
Looking ahead to next week, the forecast oscillates between partly sunny and potential showers. Monday holds promise with partly sunny skies and a pleasant high near 73. Yet, nightfall brings with it a 60% likelihood of showers, particularly after the 11pm time frame. The expected new precipitation amounts are less than a tenth of an inch possible, thus promising no major downpours but enough moisture to remind of the city’s penchant for rain.
The week continues with a 30 percent chance of morning showers on Tuesday before transitioning to partly sunny conditions and a high of 66 degrees. The evening cools down to around 52 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Midweek optimism rises with the forecast pointing to sunny days, beginning on Wednesday with a high near 69, followed by a clear night around 54 degrees. Thursday and Friday are expected to be notably sunny, peaking at highs of 74 and 77 degrees, respectively, affirming that summer lingers still within the Emerald City’s grasp.
