The National Weather Service in Seattle reports an overcast morning with temperatures standing at a brisk 44°F, the humidity registering at a damp 82%, and a slight south breeze moving at 5 MPH.

Seattleites should prepare for a potential drizzle today, with the NWS forecast indicating a 40 percent chance of rain, primarily expected to occur between 3pm and 5pm, and despite the clouds, there's some hope for a peek of sunshine later in the day as the sky is expected to clear somewhat with a high creeping to near 53°F, and as the wind shifts direction, it'll likely settle down to a gentle waft.

For those planning their evening outings, only a slight chance of rain lingers before 8pm; meanwhile, tonight's conditions will see mostly cloudy skies with the low hovering around 40°F, the winds remaining a mild whisper to the touch.

Looking ahead, Thursday's promise greets us with mostly cloudy skies in the morning hours slowly giving way to the sun's assertive rays, with the high climbing to an agreeable 55°F, and the calm winds playing their part, shifting north northwest at a pace of about 5 mph in the afternoon while the night rewards us with mostly clear skies and temperatures dipping to a nippy 39°F, the north wind blows at 6 mph before fading into calm.

The NWS outlook remains pleasant as we step into Friday, forecasting a sunny canvas with a high that is expected to reach an inviting 63°F complemented by a gentle north breeze; and on Friday night, we're looking at mostly clear conditions with lows settling around 42°F.

Residents can anticipate a mostly sunny weekend with Saturday's highs aiming for a generous 68°F and the night partly cloudy with a low at a moderate 46°F; however, Sunday suggests a change in script as a slight chance of rain enters the picture after 11am, ahead of a more pronounced chance of rainfall stretching into the following Monday and Tuesday where rain is likely, accompanying mostly cloudy skies and highs tiptoeing around the upper 50s.
