In an update that’s as typical as the morning fog, Seattle is gearing up for a mix of partly sunny skies and the inevitable return of rain, which seems almost as ever-present as the city's coffee shops. According to the National Weather Service, today will bring in partly sunny conditions with a comfortable high touching the late 60s, promising a mild respite before a sequence of rainy days sets in.
As night falls, the clouds will gather, acting as a curtain riser to the shower-heavy storyline that's all but too familiar for the locals, tonight's forecast suggests additional clouds drifting in, carrying with them a warmer low in the mid-50s as the light south southeast winds decide to make their presence more pronounced—becoming south 5 to 9 mph by evening time. Columbus Day follows a similar script, with an 80% chance of the day's main act—rain—starting post-11 am, and a continuous hum of a south wind traveling at around 10 mph.
Monday night keeps the stage wet with steady rain and chances standing strong at 80%; all while the wind steps back, slowing to a calm that wraps around the 55-degree low, in this cycle of precipitation, less than a tenth of an inch of rain is expected to fall. The week persists with this watery theme, as Tuesday likely brings more showers amid the cloudy skies and mild temperatures hovering just above 60, the light and variable winds barely shifting the saturated air.
The narrative peaks midweek, with Wednesday committing to a 100% chance of rain and what might feel like a theatrical release of water from the sky, the temperature settling to a cool high near 59—indeed, as the waterlogged week trudges on, showers and a possible thunderstorm are predicted for Wednesday night; this, mostly cloudy conditions will continue to drape the cityscape while thunder.
