The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a detailed forecast for the coming days, anticipating a mix of foggy mornings and partly sunny skies before a shift towards rain later in the week. Today's early widespread dense fog is expected to clear by morning, giving way to partly sunny conditions with a high near 44 degrees and light winds. Visibility, hampered by the fog, will likely increase as the day progresses.

Tonight's forecast calls for continued calm, with a low around 34 degrees. The serenity should persist into tomorrow, with sunny skies and a slight rise in temperature, reaching a high of 46 degrees. Tomorrow night will remain tranquil, with temperatures dropping to around 37 degrees, and a gentle south-southeast wind picking up after midnight.

Change is on the horizon come Thursday, as the NWS foretells a 40 percent chance of rain amidst mostly cloudy conditions, and a moderate high near 49 degrees. The likelihood of rain segues into Thursday night, with a lowered 30 percent chance of precipitation. The clouds persist, holding the warm air, and the night's low hovers around 45 degrees. Moving into the weekend, this pattern intensifies; Friday is marked as a rainy day, especially after the morning hours, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation and warmer temperatures reaching 54 degrees.

As the week ends, rainfall is nearly certain, with continuous showers expected from Friday night through Saturday. Temperatures will remain steady, with a high around 54 degrees and a low near 50 degrees at night. The NWS does not anticipate a break in the rain until Sunday, when there’s a chance for some clearing, though rain is still possible. The start of the new week offers a brief reprieve, with partly sunny skies and a high near 47 degrees on Monday.
