The city of Seattle faces a week of shifting skies, according to the latest reports from the National Weather Service in Seattle. As specified on their website, today's weather begins with overcast clouds, gradually giving way to sunshine with a high nearing 64 degrees. Light breezes from the south-southwest will gently sweep through at 3 to 7 mph. The current temperature sits at a cool 46°F, with a dewpoint of 39°F.
Tonight's forecast anticipates mostly cloudy conditions with the thermometer dipping to around 48 degrees. The south wind will persistently continue to blow at 5 to 9 mph. Prepping for the workweek might require an umbrella, as tomorrow is expected to remain mostly cloudy with a high hovering close to 60, and a south-southwest wind around 8 mph. Tomorrow night's forecast is less optimistic; rain is anticipated to make a solid appearance after 11pm with a strong 80% chance, subtly reminding us that the Pacific Northwest hasn't quite fully shaken to dry off its notorious raincoat just yet.
As we move into Tuesday, showers continue to be likely, particularly before the late morning hours. With a 60% chance of rain, the day will peak at about 60 degrees, while winds from the south-southwest will mildly blow at 7 to 9 mph. By Tuesday night, the chance of rainfall diminishes to a sparse 20% before the stroke of 11 pm. The sky will remain mostly cloudy as temperatures nestle at 49 degrees.
The latter half of the week presents a more promising outlook with Wednesday ushering in mostly sunny skies and a high that will climb to an agreeable 67 degrees. The clear skies are expected to continue into the evening, with a low of 47. The silver lining becomes more golden by Thursday as sunshine is predicted to dominate, pushing the high up to a much warmer 75 degrees. However, Thursday night might just manage to partially cloud that glow with the slight chance of rain after 11pm.
As the workweek draws to a close, Friday's daytime forecasts a capricious mix of rain and sun with a high settling around the 63-degree mark. Friday evening reaffirms the week's recurring theme as rain is likely with the low compressing down to 46 degrees. If you're laying plans for next Saturday, keep them flexible; with another chance of rain and partly sunny spells, the temperature is expected to reach a high near 58.
The National Weather Service encourages Seattleites to stay connected by visiting their official site for the most recent updates and to gear up appropriately for the fickle temperament of the spring weather ahead.
