The National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle forecasts a medley of showers and clouds for the week ahead. According to the latest update from the NWS Seattle, the chill in the air isn't going anywhere soon, with temperatures barely scratching the mid-50s and a humidity that's sticking around 87%, making it feel cooler than the mercury suggests. And get ready for some classic Seattle drizzle; overnight showers have a 30 percent chance of gracing our city.
For those hoping Monday might offer a break from the gloomy skies, there's a 50 percent shot of rain, mainly before 5 p.m. With the NWS predicting a high near 54, it seems like the ideal day to grab a hot coffee and watch the partly sunny skies, do their brief dance between the showers. As we slip into Monday night, showers are playing shy with just a 10 percent chance before 7 p.m. and the promise of a partly cloudy reprieve.
Those looking for an excuse to sleep in on Tuesday will find it with the predicted morning rain, likely kicking in after 11 a.m. The gray canopy will be thick, bringing with it a 60% probability of rain and potential new precipitation tallies of less than a tenth of an inch. The Tuesday night forecast goes all-in on the rain, pegging the chance at 100% with new precipitation amounts that could measure between a quarter and half an inch—cue the sound of rain for your sleep playlist.
Midweek doesn't stray far from this wet narrative, and Wednesday's looking at a coin flip's chance of showers before clearing up a bit in the afternoon. Highs could crest to 57 degrees if we're lucky. The NWS forecast then hints at a dry spell for Wednesday night, mostly cloudy, and cuddling the mid-40s. Again, those numbers on the thermometer could feel a smidge crisper thanks to sustained humidity levels.
By Thursday, keep your rain boots handy, with the day expected to be partly sunny, highs teetering on the mid-50s mark and the late-night hours flirting with rain chances post-11 p.m. Then as week's end rolls around, replace "partly" with "predominantly" as Friday barrels in, bringing rain throughout the day, clinging to the clouds with highs stuck around 56 degrees.
True to form, the city won't be shaking off the raindrops for the weekend. Friday night extends the wet forecast with more rain and lows hovering over the 50-degree line. And if you were hoping for a miracle sunny Saturday to break up the monotony, you'll be sorely disappointed—rain persists, with highs close to 57 degrees. In a fitting end to the week, Sunday circles back to the chance of rain, its intensity moderated by sporadic breaks of sun amidst highs in the mid-50s.
