The National Weather Service in Seattle has detailed a shift in the weather pattern for the coming days starting with widespread haze early this morning which should disperse by 7 a.m. Locals can expect an increase in cloud coverage, with the high hovering around a comfortable 82 degrees. Gentle breezes from the north-northwest could be felt ranging from 3 to 7 mph. In terms of humidity, the atmosphere is fairly saturated at 72%, producing a dew point of 55°F, as reported by the NWS station.
As the night falls, the sky will only be partly cloudy, offering some stargazing opportunities. A mild 62 degrees is expected for the low. The negligible north-northwest wind at 5 mph is slated to ebb to a lull as the evening progresses. Meanwhile, Sunday promises abundant sunshine and a high once again brushing the 80-degree mark. A quiet south-southwest wind will waft across at a leisurely 3 to 6 mph.
The steady pattern continues into the workweek, albeit with a slight downturn in temperature; Monday will be partly sunny with the mercury climbing to a modest 73 degrees propelled by a south wind at an almost imperceptible 6 mph, according to the NWS forecast. The night's cloud cover increases, cradling us with a low temperature of around 56 degrees.
Tuesday's high is expected to be in the region of 70, beneath a veil of mostly cloudy skies. The clouds persist into the night with temperatures bottoming out near 56 degrees. Wednesday's weather turns intriguing, with chances of rain coming into play. Precipitation may grace us during the day and before 11 p.m., as the temperatures peak around a cooler 66 degrees and descend to 54 degrees overnight.
Closing out the week, Thursday and Friday could see a continuation of this unsettled pattern, with a slight chance of rain looming over mostly sunny to partly sunny skies. The daytime highs linger close to the sweet spot of the upper 60s. All this precipitation play comes with the backdrop of the usual Pacific Northwest cloud theater, part drama and part spectacle. For the most current information on imminent weather changes, particularly as we navigate through the probabilities of rainfall in the latter half of the week, Seattleites are encouraged to keep an eye on the NWS updates.
