Seattle residents can expect a string of rainy days ahead, according to the latest weather updates. A forecast by the National Weather Service in Seattle points to rain as a consistent feature over the coming week, starting today with a 70% chance of precipitation after 2 p.m. The city should brace for mostly cloudy skies with a modest high around 58 degrees and winds blowing south-southeast at a calm 6 to 8 mph. While only less than a tenth of an inch of rain is expected today, it nevertheless marks the beginning of a wet period.
The pattern set to firmly entrench itself, tonight guarantees a 90% chance of rain with the temperature dipping to a low of around 47 degrees and the wind maintaining its south-southeast direction at 7 to 9 mph. Predictions for tomorrow are not looking any drier, as the NWS anticipates rain with a steady temperature hovering around 49 degrees. South winds will pick up and gently ramp up to 10 to 15 mph, with gusts potentially reaching as high as 20 mph. Residents gearing up for their weekend plans should be prepared to encounter rain yet again on Saturday with an 80% chance of precipitation and a high near 54 degrees.
It seems the possibility of drier conditions will not come until Sunday, when the weather is expected to break into partly sunny skies and a high near 60 degrees. This brief reprieve will be short-lived, as rain is forecasted to return Sunday night. The upcoming week seems to hold more of the same, with Monday featuring rain, followed by a potential easing on Tuesday with only a chance of rain and partly sunny conditions. However, a chance of rain persists through Wednesday under partly sunny skies and a high near 54 degrees.
