The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a forecast for the day that includes rain likely occurring mainly between 1 pm and 4 pm. The report, updated earlier this morning, anticipates an increase in cloud cover with a high temperature near 68 degrees. According to the forecast, there is a 60% chance of precipitation, with new precipitation amounts expected to be less than a tenth of an inch. Light winds from the northeast are set to pick up to 13 mph in the afternoon. NWS Seattle emphasizes that while the rain should be brief, Seattleites should prepare for some afternoon wetness.
As the evening rolls around, the skies are set to clear up with the nightly low dropping to around 49 degrees. Residents will experience a mostly cloudy evening, which will then become mostly clear. The north wind will die down to a light breeze, eventually becoming calm, serving as a gentle transition into the night.
Looking ahead, Sunday promises clear skies and sunny weather, with a high again nearing 68 degrees. Calm winds in the morning will give way to some activity from the north, hitting 5 to 8 mph later in the day. Into the evening, the sky will mostly remain clear, with the low temperature forecasted around 48 degrees. Anyone planning an evening stroll on Sunday night should enjoy a tranquil atmosphere under the mostly clear sky.
Sunny conditions are expected to persist into the start of the new week. On Monday, temperatures are predicted to rise slightly to a high near 71 degrees. According to NWS Seattle, the calm morning will be disrupted by a north-northwest wind reaching 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. This pattern of sunny days and clear nights is forecasted to continue through at least Tuesday, with highs pushing into the mid-70s and lows comfortably positioned in the low 50s.
The remainder of the week remains relatively stable, weather-wise, with partly sunny conditions on Wednesday followed by partly cloudy nights. Highs throughout the week are expected to hover around the low 70s, according to the official forecast. Not till Thursday does the forecast suggest a change, as mostly cloudy conditions dominate the day and persist into the night. Residents looking forward to the weekend should anticipate similar patterns, with Friday also pegged for mostly cloudy skies and a high near 73. As Seattleites know all too well, the city's relationship with the clouds is a constant dance of hide and seek.
