The National Weather Service in Seattle reports a current state of clear skies and a temperature of 54°F (12°C), with humidity sitting high at 86%. The tranquil north wind whispers at a mere 0 MPH, and visibility extends to a clear 10 miles. With a barometric pressure of 30.01 in (1016.26 mb) and a dewpoint of 50°F (10°C), the city could not have asked for a calmer morning, according to the latest update from the NWS.
Seattleites are encouraged to enjoy the sun today, with the NWS forecast promising sunny skies and a high near 73. A gentle north wind at 3 to 7 mph is expected. However, wandering into the evening, the wind will ease, shifting to a calm presence as the temperature drops to an anticipated low of around 54 degrees.
Onward into the weekend, Saturday proposes another display of sun with a slight uptick in warmth, showing off a high near 75, kissed by a south wind at 3 to 8 mph. But the clear skies are not to last, giving way to a more turbulent Saturday night. The NWS projects that rain will begin to visit the city mainly after 11pm, with the south wind gaining momentum at 8 to 13 mph, and gusts that could reach up to 21 mph. A soaking of a quarter to half an inch is possible, setting the scene for a rather damp evening.
Continuing with the weekend trends, Sunday morning will greet Seattle residents with more rain, mainly before 11am. With a high near 67, the rainfall might try to cling to the city with a 90% chance as the south wind shifts northeast later in the day. After the departure of the rain, Sunday night offers a reprieve with a mere 20 percent chance of rain before 11pm and then partly cloudy skies with a low around 53.
A segue into Monday introduces a return of full sunshine and clear conditions, heralding a high near 71, followed by a mostly clear Monday night with low temperatures hovering around 54. The ensuing days up to Thursday hint at a generally sunny disposition interspersed with a few chances of rain, especially during the nights. Temperatures in the daytime will range comfortably from the high sixties to low seventies throughout the week.
