It's shaping up to be a classic Seattle summer day, according to the latest report from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle, WA. With a crystal clear sky and the temperature sitting comfortably at 60°F as of their last update at 5:53 a.m. PDT, residents can expect a warm and sunny day ahead. The humidity is holding steady at 66%, and there's not even a whisper of wind to speak of, ensuring a placid start to the morning.
For those planning their day around the sun, the NWS forecasts temperatures will climb to a high near 83 degrees. A calm wind will stir into a gentle northwest breeze at 5 to 8 mph as the afternoon waxes. Come nightfall, the sky will remain mostly clear, with lows teetering around 59 degrees. There appears to be a northwest wind slowing down after midnight, having become light and variable, promised to usher in an equally temperate Wednesday.
The NWS detailed forecast lays out the remainder of the week, signaling a bout of consistent weather. Another sunny day is in the queue for Wednesday with highs again nearing the 83-degree mark. As the evening rolls in, the sky will sport a few more clouds, but temperatures will stay at a low round 60 with a gentle north northeast wind.
Thursday, however, introduces a slight twist in an otherwise uninterrupted stretch of sun. A 20 percent chance of showers sneaks into the forecast after 11 a.m., with a partly sunny outlook and a high around 78. The chance of showers lingers through the night, as does the cloud cover, setting the stage for a mostly cloudy Friday with highs cresting near 76 and a descent into a partially cloudy evening with a low near 58, bespeaking a mild break in the warm pattern.
The weekend will veer neither toward the dramatic nor the dreary. Saturdays are expected to bask under partly sunny skies with a high near 75, giving way to night skies that are only partly clouded with lows at about 56. Sunday maintains the theme, with partly sunny conditions and a high near 73; while night will draw a veil of more clouds, keeping temperatures at a low of around 57 degrees.
The beginning of next week might find Seattleites reaching for their umbrellas, albeit lightly. Monday is pegged with a slight chance of showers amidst mostly cloudy skies, as thermometers hover once more near the 73-degree mark. While the showers may be seen as a gentle interlude, the week largely writes a narrative of Seattle's quintessential balmy summer serenity.
