As Seattle residents wrap themselves in layers to combat the chill, the latest weather forecast provides a glimpse into the weather patterns expected to unfold over the next few days. According to the National Weather Service, Seattleites might experience a brief interlude from the rain today, with only a slight chance of showers before 8 a.m. and again after noon. Those heading out the door will be greeted by mostly cloudy skies and temperatures peaking near a modest 45 degrees, accompanied by a light south-southeast wind.
As the evening rolls in, the city's forecast includes mostly cloudy conditions with a low of around 37 degrees and a tame east wind. The lack of significant overnight changes might give way to a Thursday that closely mirrors its predecessor. Thanksgiving Day is poised to hold steady under mostly cloudy skies, with the thermometer nudging to a high near 45 once more under the watch of a calm wind.
Moving into the weekend, the weather pattern appears to press pause on variety, maintaining primarily cloudy conditions with occasional rain chances. Friday's prospects may tempt us with anticipation of a downpour, but the forecast predicts just a 20 percent chance of rain and a high reaching 46 degrees, the south wind blowing at a languid five mph.
The overcast aesthetic stretches into Saturday, with temperature highs pushing the envelope slightly to 48 degrees. Saturday night's outlook echoes previous evenings, settling to a low around 37. As Seattle inches through the turn of the week, a sliver of sunlight is expected to cut through on Sunday, offering partly sunny skies and a high of 47, according to the official forecast.
We return to our regularly scheduled programming of mostly cloudy conditions and a low of 37 on Sunday night. The start of a new week does not look to stray far from the established pattern, with Monday also partly sunny and highs close to 48 degrees. By Monday night, however, there's a looming slight chance of rain, which thickens into a more substantial chance come Tuesday, with an accompanying elevation in temperature to a high near 50 degrees.
