Seattle residents can expect a reprieve from the typical gloom as the National Weather Service reports a stretch of sunny days ahead. With the last update at 5:00 AM PDT, the NWS Seattle predicts "Sunny, with a high near 64" degrees today, and a soothing "North wind 7 to 9 mph." It seems the clear skies aren't going away anytime soon, with the forecast further indicating continued sunshine with highs creeping up to 68 and 69 degrees on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
Tonight's conditions appear equally serene, with "Mostly clear, with a low around 49" degrees and a "Northeast wind 3 to 7 mph," according to the NWS Seattle. These temperatures provide an ideal backdrop for those late evening strolls or merely the simple pleasure of a window left ajar. But as we all know about Seattle's weather, enjoy the dry spell while it lasts because rain chances begin to materialize on Wednesday.
The calm of early week evenings transitions to Tuesday night with a subtle shift: a 20 percent chance of rain after 11 PM. Consistent with the city's reputation, the probability of rain increases to a 40 percent chance on Wednesday. The rain seems to be teasingly inconsistent, with chances wavering before and after 11 PM on the subsequent days.
While Seattleites enjoy most of the week with mostly sunny days, they shouldn't stow away their umbrellas. The latter part of the week's forecast foreshadows a familiar dampness, hinting at rain with a slight chance of rain before 11 AM on Thursday, while Friday evening could bring showers as well. However, temperatures will remain relatively mild despite the impending drizzle, lingering in the high 60s.
