The National Weather Service in Seattle has provided a detailed forecast for the city, with weather conditions set to showcase a variety of patterns throughout the week. According to NWS Seattle, residents can expect a predominantly overcast sky, interspersed with some breaks of sunshine and possibilities of rain.
Early risers on this day may have already encountered the chance of rain before 7:00 a.m. However, those chances will return post-noon. As the clouds break apart, the forecast promises a gradual unveiling of the sun with the high approaching a comfortable 52 degrees Fahrenheit. A light breeze could be noticed with winds shifting to a north-northwesterly direction, at around 5 mph come afternoon. The chance of precipitation stands at 40%, leaving some room for uncertainty and, perhaps, spontaneous bouts of Seattle's famous drizzle.
As night falls, the winds are expected to remain northerly, with speeds ranging from 5 to 7 mph. Residents should find some comfort in the partly cloudy skies, which hint at a low of 40 degrees. NWS Seattle notes that Thursday will likely follow through with more sunshine and a comparable daytime high of 51 degrees, keeping the north wind's attendance, albeit at a gentler 3 to 5 mph.
Transitioning into the weekend, Friday is slated to be partly sunny with a temperature peaking at around 52 degrees before becoming mostly cloudy towards the evening. The wind, calm and from the south-southwest, should stay between 3 and 7 mph. Saturday's 20 percent chance of rain should not discourage any plans, though, with mostly cloudy conditions giving way to an anticipated high of 57 degrees. The pattern continues into Sunday and the start of the following week with slight chances of rain, but nothing too foreboding on the horizon as daytime highs remain comfortably in the mid-50s.
Seattle's usual rain is likely to return by Monday and Tuesday, with NWS Seattle forecasting a more definitive chance of showers.
