The National Weather Service in Seattle has forecasted a week flush with rain, ushering in a decidedly damp Columbus Day and setting the tone for the days ahead. Today's weather brings rain, particularly post-1 pm, with an 80% chance of precipitation and expected rainfall of less than a tenth of an inch. The high temperature is anticipated to hover near 64 degrees, while a south wind circulates at around 9 mph. Tonight's outlook is scarcely different, with promising rain likely before 7 pm and cloudy conditions with a low around 55 degrees. Winds from the south are expected to taper to a calm state by evening.
The drizzle is set to persist into Tuesday, where the likelihood of rain after 11 am stands at 70%, under unyielding clouds maintaining a steady temperature of around 56 degrees alongside a mild northerly breeze. Transitioning into Tuesday night, the region braces for more rain, a low near 51 degrees, and south winds picking up pace between 5 to 9 mph in the evening. Looking ahead to Wednesday, a wetter outlook looms large; the day promises rain before 11 am, followed by intermittent showers and the potential for a thunderstorm post-5 pm, with a 100% chance of precipitation, and new rainfall totaling between a quarter and a half an inch. Wednesday's tempests may not let up into the night, with forecasts suggesting a continuance of showers, possibly thunderstorms, and lows around 47 degrees, as detailed by the National Weather Service.
Thursday offers little respite as showers are expected to persist with a high near 54 degrees and a persistent 90% chance of rain. By Thursday night, though, the odds of showers will dwindle, leaving Mostly cloudy skies and a low of around 45 degrees. Friday's narrative speaks of likely rain post-11 am and mostly cloudy conditions prevailing alongside a meager climb to a high near 56 degrees.
Rain is forecasted across both Saturday and Sunday. As Saturday dawns, the pendulum swings back towards a 100% chance of rain, accompanied by mostly cloudy conditions and a high near 60 degrees. The ebb continues into that night and Sunday with steady rain and cloud cover, as the mercury stalls near the 60-degree mark.
