Seattle, known for its incessant drizzles and moody skies, is to continue experiencing its signature wet weather over the coming week. According to the latest report from the National Weather Service in Seattle, the city can expect rain mainly after 10am today, with temperatures hovering around a cool 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The north northeast winds starting at 5 to 7 mph are predicted to make a turn to the south southwest in the afternoon.
The forecast, last updated earlier this morning, suggests a 90% chance of precipitation with new rainfall amounts falling between a quarter and a half of an inch. Inhabitants of Seattle should be ready to keep their rain gear at hand, as the seasonal downpour doesn't seem to break just yet. To further prepare, residents can also expect the wind to pick up tonight, coming from the south southwest at around 10 mph, promising an 80% chance of more rain and adding up to a quarter inch more of wetness to the city's streets.
As Seattleites glance out towards the remainder of their week, the National Weather Service forecast doesn't hold back on expectations of a wet New Year's celebration. Monday's likelihood of rain sits at 60%, mainly before 10am, with the clouds persisting and a high temperature barely tickling the underbelly of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The parade of cloudy and rainy days is set to march through the week, which promises to particularly dampen spirits on New Year's Day, with a 60% chance of rain before 10am.
There's a slight reprieve as Tuesday rolls around with only a 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 4pm, while the twilight of 2024 welcomes in clouds that come bearing the gift of rain, likely after 10pm. This weather pattern seems to stubbornly stick around, with Thursday and Friday forecasting rain as well, and a high temperature finally reaching past the 50-degree mark as the week comes to a close. Those looking ahead might want to hold onto their umbrellas, as Saturday brings with it more prospective showers.
