Seattle residents may want to keep their rain gear at hand as the National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle, WA forecasts a damp week ahead. According to the latest bulletin, the city is bracing for a series of rainy days with high humidity levels hovering around 93%.
Today, the NWS predicts a full dose of rain starting after 1pm with high temperatures near 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The south wind could make the rain feel chillier than it is, with gusts reaching up to 26 mph. There's a certainty of precipitation, at 100%, and locals can expect between a quarter to half an inch of rain through the day, potentially disrupting outdoor plans. Tonight the steady rain continues, with temperatures sticking around 53 degrees and south winds at around 11 mph.
Sunday's weather seems a mirror of today's, with rain forecast throughout the entire day, and similarly strong gusts of wind from the south. The chance of precipitation remains unwavering at 100%, with new rainfall amounts stacking up between half to three-quarters of an inch. As night falls, while the rain may taper off before 10pm, the likelihood of any dry spell seems slim with continued high precipitation probability.
Monday offers no reprieve, as the NWS indicates rain intensifying after 10am and temperatures maxing out near 53 degrees. The forecasted rain seems relentless, as the southeast wind, although milder, with speeds from 6 to 8 mph, won't do much to dissipate the moisture-laden atmosphere. Again, the chance of precipitation stands tall at 90%, with a promising quarter to half-inch of added rainfall to greet the new week.
Looking further ahead, Tuesday continues the wet trend with rain expected mainly before 4pm. The rest of the week hints at some respite; Wednesday might partly shine at a higher temperature of about 58 degrees before nightfall brings back the clouds. By Thursday, the chance of rain returns, and with it, a partly sunny day with a maximum of 57 degrees.
