The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a forecast for the region that indicates an impending series of rainy days. According to their latest update, Seattle residents can expect a stretch of wet weather starting today with an 80% chance of precipitation and new rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
As we move into the evening, the rain is likely to persist, especially after 3 am, with cloudy skies and a low of around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The north-northeast wind will be blowing at a speed of 3 to 7 mph, carrying with it the promise of further rainfall which the NWS predicts to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. This bout of rain is set to reach a culmination on Friday with a 100% chance of rain and a high near 47 degrees, not giving up its clutch on the city the rain is then expected to lessen slightly before intensifying over the weekend.
Those making plans for Saturday should be ready for more rain, mainly after 10 am with a high near 49 degrees and south winds at 6 to 10 mph. The National Weather Service forecasts a 90% chance of rain continuing into Saturday night with new precipitation amounts between a quarter and a half of an inch likely. Respite seems distant with forecasts showing more rain and cloudy weather extending up to the following Wednesday.
Sunday's forecast hinges on the likelihood of rain, mainly before 10 am, as the partially cloud-covered sky might afford a brief interlude with a high of near 50 degrees, though as night falls, there remains a slight chance of more rain, according to measurements and predictions sourced from the National Weather Service website. As they look toward the start of the week, chances for sun creep through with a partly sunny Monday expected but again the gloom sets in with predictions for more showers and cloudy conditions through to Wednesday.
