The weather outlook for Seattle seems to be a blend of overcast skies and gradual clearing, as predicted by the National Weather Service. As of this morning, the city woke to cool temperatures and a cloudy sky, with a 30 percent chance of showers before 9 a.m., a detail provided by NWS Seattle. The forecast suggests layers might be a wise choice for locals stepping out, with temperatures expected to hit a comfortable high of 67°F later in the day.
The humidity, which stands at a palpable 76 percent, promises to give the air a certain weight, the sort that leaves one with the faint sensation of moisture clinging to bare skin. Following the potential showers of the early morning, the winds, initially from the south-southwest, are expected to take an eastern turn at a mild 6 mph. While the barometer reads a stable 30.14 in, signaling that no significant atmospheric pressure changes are immediately on the horizon, tonight will bring partially cloudy skies and a low of around 51°F. That moderate north-northeast wind will settle down to almost a whisper after the stroke of midnight.
Looking ahead, Wednesday's forecast is generous with its sunlight - it'll be a radiant day with the mercury rising to 68°F. The NWS indicates that there will be a gentle breeze, barely rustling leaves and hair, with a northwest wind picking up slightly to between 5 to 8 mph by morning. This calm weather pattern is set to continue into Thursday, which is touted to be even warmer. Residents can expect plenty of sunshine and a high near 74°F, as the wind maintains its northeast course, ringing in at a light 6 to 10 mph.
The pleasing weather seems unceasing, as the clear conditions extend into the end of the week. Thursday night will be mostly clear, ushering in a low of around 57°F. The fair conditions will be perfect for outdoor activities on Friday, with NWS projecting a sunny day with a high near 75°F. The upcoming weekend also appears to favor any planned picnics or beach outings, as Saturday's high is expected to climb to a cozy 77°F. And for those forecasting their Labor Day plans, partial sunshine with a high near 72°F is anticipated as per the NWS extended forecast.
