Seattle residents can expect a typical dreary start to the week, with light rain and drizzle forecasted for the morning hours. The National Weather Service reports areas of drizzle before 10 am today, followed by a chance of showers between 10 am and 3 pm. The skies will remain cloudy, and temperatures are predicted to hover near 50 degrees. Winds are expected to be calm, shifting to the south at around 5 mph in the afternoon. However, the chance of precipitation stands at 40%.
As the evening approaches, there's a 30 percent possibility of rain, mainly before 10 pm. Fog is set to roll in after 4 am, making for potential visibility complications early Monday morning. Tonight's lows will dip to around 42 degrees, with light winds turning north at about 5 mph, as detailed by the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead, Monday promises areas of fog before 10 am, but conditions will clear up to give way to mostly sunny skies and a high of 49 degrees. A light north wind will persist around 5 mph. Monday night's forecast anticipates fog after 1 am, with partly cloudy skies and a low near 35 degrees.
Midweek forecasts indicate a slight chance of rain on Tuesday night – only 20 percent. Otherwise, the week's weather is expected to be partly sunny, intermittently mixed with cloudy conditions and areas of fog in the early hours. The high temperature for Wednesday is projected to be near 49 degrees, with Thursday closely matching that prediction. Yet, the placidity of the weather is prone to interruption by rain, most likely starting after 4 am on Thursday night, potentially carrying through to a wetter Friday. Lows throughout the week will generally stay above freezing, optimizing conditions for that persistent Seattle mist. With the weekend on the horizon, Saturday sees an upturn, with partly sunny weather and a high near 47 degrees.
