Seattle residents can expect to quickly pull out their umbrellas this week as the National Weather Service predicts several spells of rain and potential chances for rain and snow in the upcoming days. According to the detailed forecast, there's a 20 percent chance of rain overnight, with mostly cloudy skies, and a low around 44 degrees. By Thursday, the chance of rain dwindles to 10 percent before 7 a.m., moving towards a sunnier afternoon with a high near 53 degrees.
However, by Thursday night, the likelihood of rain picks up again with a 20 percent chance after 3 a.m., and temperatures are expected to dip to a low of around 42 degrees. As Seattle moves into the weekend, Friday foreshadows a 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 10 a.m., with a partly sunny climate and highs approximately reaching 52 degrees. "Rain likely, mainly after 10pm," with a 60 percent chance, the NWS cautions for Friday night.
What's more, the weekend won't provide much of a respite from the damp conditions. A 60 percent chance of rain persists through Saturday, mostly before 10 a.m., along with patches of fog in the late morning. "Rain likely, mainly after 10pm," the NWS forecasts for Saturday night, consistent with the week's wet theme. Highs on Saturday are expected to approach a more comfortable 55 degrees despite the predicted precipitation.
Concluding the weekend, Sunday brings forth rain throughout the day and into the following night. Residents can anticipate highs near 53 degrees and lows around 42 degrees, maintaining a consistent chill in the air. As the new week peeks ahead, Monday offers a likely chance of morning rain before yielding to partly sunny skies with a high near 50 degrees. "A slight chance of rain," the NWS stated for Monday night's expectations, indicating a potential breather from the rain showers.
Yet, this reprieve could be fleeting, as the forecast teases a chance of rain and even snow by Tuesday night, with temperatures descending into the upper 30s. The possibility of these conditions extends into Wednesday, casting a shadow of anticipation for what the climate might roll out over the Emerald City. With highs hovering near 47 degrees midweek, locals are reminded yet again that the seasonal dance between rain and snow is far from over. All this, according to the NWS Seattle WA, as residents find themselves wrapped in the all-too-familiar embrace of the Pacific Northwest's mercurial skies.
