Seattle Braces for Typical Autumn Week with Sunny Days to Precede Midweek Showers, Says NWS

The National Weather Service in Seattle has provided an outlook for the next week that suggests a typical fall pattern, with patchy morning fog giving way to mostly sunny days before a probability of rain sets in by Monday night. According to the latest update, today's early fog is expected to clear by 9 am, leaving a mostly sunny sky with a high approaching 68 degrees and light, variable winds. As evening approaches, the clarity should remain, allowing temperatures to drop to a low of around 50 degrees with calm wind conditions.

Looking ahead to the work week, Monday is anticipated to stay mostly sunny with a modest increase in temperature, hitting near 72 degrees. However, the calm winds of the morning are predicted to shift to a southern direction, reaching 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon, as outlined by the NWS forecast. By Monday night, the chance of rain is a coin flip—there's a 50 percent chance of precipitation, mainly after 11 pm, with the cloud cover on the rise and a low around 56 degrees anticipated.

The pattern of precipitation intensifies by Tuesday, bringing rain with a high near 65 degrees and continuing southerly winds of 6 to 9 mph. An 80 percent chance of precipitation is expected, although the forecast implies new rainfall amounts should be less than a tenth of an inch. The likelihood of rain lingers into Tuesday night, with a 60 percent chance and low temperatures hovering around 54 degrees.

The remainder of the week maintains this pattern with Wednesday facing a 60 percent chance of more rain and a high around 63 degrees, while nightfall brings potential rainfall and lows near 50. The fluctuations in weather take us towards the weekend with only a slight chance of rain by Thursday and similar conditions expected for Friday, with temperatures remaining consistently mild and in the low 60s.
