The National Weather Service in Seattle has delivered a mostly sunny verdict for today with temperatures climbing up to the cozy warmth of 75 degrees, the calm before the forecasted storm, as the evening promises a 90% chance of rain after 2 am; so better not forget those umbrellas when you step out tonight, Seattleites.

Tomorrow brings another round of rain until 11am following by a potential tease of thunderstorms between 11am and 2pm and, as if to usher in a parting gift for the weekend, the chance of rain lingers beyond 2pm so it seems that our infamous Seattle drizzle isn't quite done with us yet, the high is expected to be a cooler 66 degrees with that characteristic south wind giving way to a northeast breeze in the afternoon, a wind of change that perhaps wishes to sweep away the raindrops like so many fallen leaves. Then, as we peer into Sunday night's sky, we're met with the promise of partly cloudy calmness; before Monday ushers in another bout of sunny skies boasting a high near 70 degrees, perfect for those looking to catch up on some of that missed Vitamin D intake over the weekend.

"Tuesday Sunny, with a high near 73. Tuesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 54," according to the National Weather Service forecast.
Standing on the precipice of midweek, we're looking at a plethora of mostly sunny days ahead and even as we inch towards the next weekend, with Thursday hinting at the potential for some rain, it appears that we're allowed a brief reprieve before the potential showers return on Friday to bookend our week with rain again, the very essence of Seattle's autumn season on display—a tapestry woven with the threads of sun and rain, tangled together in a dance as old as time itself, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms reminds the occasional punchline that Mother Nature holds in store, because 'A slight chance of rain. Partly cloudy, with a low around 54, is slated for Thursday night. Then, harkening the end of the week, according to the National Weather Service, "A chance of rain.
