The National Weather Service in Seattle has reported overcast skies with a current temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit at 6:00 AM PST today, with a relative humidity sitting at 81 percent and a wind chill making it feel like 38 degrees. The forecast, according to NWS Seattle, indicates a 10 percent chance of rain later this afternoon and a slight chance of rain this evening, with temperatures expected to hover in the low 50s.
For those planning their weekend, tomorrow shows a 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 4 PM, whereas Saturday night should be prepared for a stronger likelihood of rainfall. The wind, persisting from the south at about 7 to 8 mph, holds a promise of bringing more consistent rain into Sunday, washing the city in anticipated precipitation amounts between a quarter and half an inch.
As people look ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, the weather may play a role in their travel and celebration plans. Monday shows a likelihood of rain tapering off before 10 AM, giving way to a partially sunny sky with a high approaching 48 degrees. The chance of precipitation drops slightly that night, though remains a consideration for anyone stepping out late.
Midweek, when many will likely begin their Thanksgiving preparations, the chance of rain continues with overcast conditions, keeping the high temperatures steadily in the mid-to-high 40s. Thanksgiving Day itself seems set to be mostly cloudy with a high of 52 degrees — a familiar setting for Seattle natives, who have come to expect the rain as a constant companion during their holiday celebrations.
