With Seattleites enjoying a clear morning at a cool 61°F, the National Weather Service's Seattle office is forecasting a warm day ahead with widespread haze and a daytime high approaching 79 degrees. The calm conditions are expected to shift as a light west southwest breeze picks up in the afternoon.
Heading into the night, residents can expect a partial cloud cover with a 20 percent chance of showers past 1am amidst continued haze, temperatures are to stay mild with lows hovering around 62 degrees despite the northwest wind becoming calm after midnight, which will set a precedent for a moist and unstable weekend, as reported by the National Weather Service.
As we step into the weekend, the chance for precipitation increases with NWS detailing a 40 percent likelihood of showers on Saturday, potentially escalating to thunderstorms by the late afternoon. Highs for Saturday are predicted to drop slightly to a more temperate 75 degrees with light winds turning from calm to a southerly direction in the morning.
Sunday will bring similar conditions, maintaining a 50 percent probability of rain showers under mostly cloudy skies with a high near the 71-degree mark, the south wind persisting yet subtly at around 7 mph while Monday continues the trend showing a matching 40 percent chance of showers in what appears to be an early fall pattern settling over the region though temperatures remain steadfast with highs predicted to once again reach near 71.
Looking forward into the week, the weather doesn't seem to stray from this damp forecast as shower chances linger into Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs maintaining a consistent rhythm of 70-71 degrees each day. Residents could catch some respite overnight, yet precipitation probability remains significant. The wet spell is projected to carry through the week, tapering off slightly but persisting into a potentially showery Thursday with a comfortable yet familiar high of 72 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
