Seattle residents can expect a shift from this morning's gloomy weather to clearer skies as the day progresses; the National Weather Service reports the cloud cover should start breaking up to bring about a pleasant high near 68 degrees, with light north-northwest winds ushering in the change. The calm pattern continues into the evening with an anticipated dip to a low of around 54 degrees, and tranquil, clear conditions are likely to hold steady, according to NWS Seattle.
Looking ahead, Thursday's outlook stops short of committing to full sunshine, but still offers partly sunny skies and a similar high near 67 degrees; evening forecasts introduce a mild 20 percent chance of rain after 11 pm and a repeat of tonight's low temperatures, the slight cooling breeze having seen its origins in the west-northwest is expected to turn southeast as the night deepens. With mostly cloudy weather expected on Friday and into the weekend, there are hints of rain early next week. The forecast suggests a mix of partly sunny days and possibly rainy nights ahead.
Temperatures show little variation through this period with daily highs consistently near the mid-to-upper 60s, and though Friday night clears up to a slightly cooler low around 51 degrees, the mercury is set to climb once more into Sunday. The forthcoming weather patterns hold a broad appeal, promising comfortable days ahead with manageable levels of precipitation. NWS Seattle also hints at a tantalizing reach toward the low 70s by next Tuesday, a nod to the waning days of the mild Pacific Northwest summer.
