If you're planning to soak in some of Seattle's picturesque autumn hues, you'll be accompanied by a rather mixed bag of weather patterns. According to the National Weather Service, Seattle is currently enjoying a clear sky with temperatures lingering around a crisp 41°F. Humidity is high, dialing in at 86%, making for potentially dewy morning conditions. A gentle north 0-mph breeze shouldn't ruffle too many feathers if you're stepping out early.
The weather roller coaster begins to pick up mid-week, with today's forecast predicting sunny skies and an enjoyable high near 62°F. However, don't get too comfortable, because the weather seems to abruptly decide to shift gears. Tomorrow brings partly sunny conditions, with a south wind 3 to 7 mph, before inviting showers after 11pm. The chance of precipitation climbs to 80%, although Seattleites can expect less than a tenth of an inch of the wet stuff—enough to warrant a trusty rain jacket, if not the full rain boots ensemble.
Heading into Friday, the city is sitting under a gray shroud with a 50/50 shot at showers, especially before 5 p.m. commute. Having a light south wind in the mix might be enough to make the "mostly cloudy" tag more bearable with a benign high around 60°F. Still, considering how weather loves to play cat and mouse, anyone venturing out might want to keep an umbrella close. The weather narrative continues with a mere 20% chance of rain Friday night, hovering with a low around 48°F.
For your weekend plans, you might need to split your time between indoor and outdoor activities. Saturday escalates to rain likely, mainly post-11 am, and chances stand strong at 60%—enough to dampen any picnic plans. The evening doesn't seem to offer any reprieve, with rain continuing through the night. On Sunday, the rinse-and-repeat forecast remains steadfastly wet, with more rain and cloudy conditions reaching highs near 58°F.
As the new week peeks over the horizon, the clouds part - somewhat. Showers are still in the cards for Monday with a partly sunny backdrop nudging the spirits upwards, and high temperatures persisting around a mood-moderate 58°F. Monday night doesn't deviate from the theme, keeping a watchful eye on the chance of showers. Tuesday follows suit with another chance of showers stamp, and the mostly cloudy atmosphere is firmly strapped into place with highs again near 58°F.
