Seattle residents, keep those umbrellas at hand, as the National Weather Service anticipates a mixed bag of precipitation this coming week. According to the latest forecast, rain showers will persist through Washington's Birthday, with a notable 80% chance of rainfall wrapping up before 9 am. Temperatures are expected to peak at a modest 48°F as per the morning's forecast. With the humidity pressing at a stifling 96% and only a mild wind chill.

As evening draws on, the likelihood of rain continues, pinpointing before 11 pm, precisely when the night's low is to be at a nearly identical temperature of 42°F. A calm wind is set to veer south, creeping up to 6 mph after midnight. The official forecast projects a 60% probability of precipitation, with new amounts adding "less than a tenth of an inch possible."

Come Tuesday, Seattle battles a persistent 50 percent rain chance under predominantly cloudy skies, temperatures clawing towards a high near 51°F. The wind, persisting from the south-southeast at a slight uptick of 5 to 8 mph, emerges yet again.

The Tuesday night forecast promises rain, with a twist - a dance with snow, no less than before 4 am. This tango in the sky is to whisk through the air at 43°F, with an east-southeast wind heralding its arrival at 6 to 8 mph. "Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected," states the NWS report.

For those looking towards the end of the workweek, dream of dry spells with caution. The pattern of precipitation tightens like a noose - rain, flirting with snow before conceding to an all-rain performance after 7 am on Wednesday, maintains its 100% chance of attendance. "Little or no snow accumulation expected," the cold, clinical drone of the forecast confirms.
