The National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle provides the latest weather updates, painting a picture of a week dominated by rain and cloudy skies. According to the detailed forecast published today, Seattle residents can expect a high near 59°F with a chance of rain before and after noon – the probability standing at around 50%. The city should brace for a predominantly wet week ahead, as the chance of precipitation spikes to 80% by Wednesday night. The soggy weather stretches into the weekend, with rain and showers clouding over most days.
Starting off with a humid morning at 92%, and winds from the southeast at 8 MPH, the barometer reads a stable 30.32 in; visibility stands at five miles as of the last update early this morning, all data courtesy of the NWS's Seattle station. Tonight, the chance of rain drops to 30%, mainly occurring before 8pm, before the clouds part somewhat to reveal a mostly clear night with a low around 45°F and light winds expected to prevail through Tuesday.
The forecast for the next couple of days offers a brief intermission from the rain with Tuesday dawning mostly cloudy and then gradually clearing to sunshine, sporting a high around 61°F – however, by Wednesday, the rain is set to return, likely after 11am with less than a tenth of an inch possible, so be sure to have your umbrellas at the ready once again. The theme continues with Thursday's rainy outlook and a steady high near 63°F, with the chance of precipitation remaining steady at 60%.
For those looking forward to the weekend, it would be wise to maintain indoor plans as showers are on the agenda; temperatures will hover in the mid-50s, but without much reprieve from the rain, moving further into the weekend doesn't herald much change. Saturday night, again, features showers with the low tipping around 45°F and wrapping up the week, Sunday stays consistent with more rain and cloudy conditions – with a high nearing 53°F, the weather seems intent to reinforce Seattle's reputation for wet autumns."
