The city of Seattle braces for a series of wet days ahead as the National Weather Service in Seattle predicts a string of rain-drenched weather conditions spanning into early October. Today sees partly sunny skies with calm winds shifting south southwest in the morning, teasing a high near 73 degrees. However, the relative tranquility is slated to gradually give way to a 40 percent chance of overnight rain, ushering in a week where umbrellas will likely unfold more often than not.
According to the latest forecast on NWS website, the probability of precipitation tomorrow is a commanding 90%, paired with a widespread haze set to clear before midday. Rain continues to be a steadfast companion through Tuesday and Wednesday, with patchy fog adding to an already dreary vista on Tuesday morning. The city should expect new rain amounts to reach between a tenth and a quarter of an inch across these days. Tomorrow night will potentially offer no respite, maintaining a steady drumbeat of rain throughout with an 80% chance of precipitation.
The midweek outlook doesn't seem to brighten much either. Wednesday travelers are advised to prepare not just for rain but also showers and a possible thunderstorm after 8 am, further soaking the cityscape. A 90% chance of precipitation promises little room for outdoor activities without the likely requirement of waterproof gear.
Residents longing for a sunny reprieve might find scant hope as the NWS forecast suggests a continuity of showers and thunderstorms into Thursday evening. The city's temperature will hover around the mid-60s, though comfort is likelier to be derived from the warmth of indoor heating than an elusive sun. Rainfall continues to be probable, if not certain, through to Saturday. Consistency, at least in terms of meteorology, is seemingly assured for Seattleites planning their week ahead.
For those inclined to confirm the detailed weather outlook, the complete forecast can be accessed on the National Weather Service's website.
