The National Weather Service in Seattle has predicted a rainy week ahead for the city. Today's temperatures are expected to be around a mild 62°F, with rain likely beginning after 2 p.m. Southern winds will strengthen throughout the afternoon, possibly gusting up to 28 mph. With overcast skies and humidity at a high 80 percent, Seattle residents should be sure to have their rain gear ready for the wet week ahead.
The chance of precipitation remains at 90%, with less than a tenth of an inch expected today. According to the NWS forecast, the rain is likely to ease off before 11 p.m. Afterward, temperatures are expected to drop to around 50°F, accompanied by continuing southern winds that could gust up to 22 mph. This rainy pattern is set to persist into Monday, with similar conditions expected, meaning umbrellas and raincoats will see a lot of use.
As we approach Tuesday, the forecast indicates a brief break, with only a 20 percent chance of rain before 11 a.m., followed by mostly sunny skies and a high around 55°F. This could offer some temporary relief from the heavy rain of the previous days. The weather appears to improve further with calm winds in the afternoon, resembling what many might consider a typical autumn day in Seattle.
Following a brief respite, rain is set to return by Thursday, bringing mostly cloudy conditions for the latter half of the week. Daily high temperatures are expected to stay in the mid-50s, with gentle fluctuations throughout the day. As we near the weekend, the NWS forecast suggests a shift to "rain likely" for the Seattle area.
