Seattle locals can anticipate a slightly overcast Juneteenth with agreeable temperatures, as detailed by the National Weather Service. After a refreshingly clear morning, temperatures are expected to peak at 69 degrees. The usual Pacific Northwest breeze is playing it cool, with winds forecasted to shift from light and variable to a northern direction, reaching speeds between 6 and 11 mph later in the day.
Tonight, the city might just get to barely avoid a shower, with a mild 20 percent chance of precipitation sneaking in after 4 am. Seattleites should be ready to grab their umbrellas for Friday, though, as there's a 90 percent certainty that showers will be on the day's menu. According to the NWS forecast, a meager less than a tenth of an inch of rainfall is possible, so don't expect to get thoroughly soaked.
It's not going to massively improve as we slide into Friday night; pack a raincoat if you're stepping out because the showers are persisting with the same 90 percent chance of precipitation. Temperatures are sticking close to the low 50s, so at least it won't be a cold one. For those early Saturday plans, consider looking at indoor options because showers are mainly expected before 11 am with an 80 percent probability. On the bright side, less than a quarter of an inch of additional precipitation will add up, just enough to keep the plants happy without causing any flood alerts.
As the weekend progresses, so does the chance to spot some clearer skies. Sunday grants a brief respite from the dampness with a low 20 percent chance of showers before lunchtime, and temperatures will be toasty enough to perhaps coax some Seattle dwellers outdoors. Looking ahead to the workweek, the NWS is fairly optimistic about sunnier days with a high of 76 on Monday and an even warmer 79 degrees by Tuesday, certainly something to look forward to after a soggy weekend.
