Seattle residents, brace yourselves for a week replete with showers, as the National Weather Service (NWS) predicts a string of rainy days ahead. The city's famously gray skies are poised to deliver precipitation with a near certainty throughout the week, starting off with a "slight chance of rain between 3pm and 4pm" today, as per the NWS forecast. With calm winds and a mild high of 56 degrees, umbrellas might still see some respite until evening.
Tonight's weather shifts as rain is expected to commence after 9 pm, steadfastly plodding through the night with steady temperature around 54 degrees. Winds from the east southeast will waft through the city at 7 to 9 mph, carrying with them a "90%" chance of rainfall, the moisture content swelling somewhere between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.
Wednesday will not offer a break from the wet conditions, as the NWS signals a full embrace of rain with a 100% chance of precipitation. Temperatures will peak near 60 degrees amidst a gentle south wind traveling at 7 to 10 mph. Those looking for consolation in fewer raindrops will find none, as the forecast promises "new precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible," as detailed by the National Weather Service.
As if in a relentless march, the deluge continues into Wednesday night, with rain and low temperatures around 50 degrees. Gusting south winds could reach up to 25 mph, adding a biting chill to the nocturnal rainfall. The unyielding downpour pushes forward, unchecked, turning the city's thoroughfares into reflective streams, with new precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Seattle is set for a wet end to the week. Rain will be steady through Thursday, with a full chance of showers and about a quarter to half an inch expected. Conditions may improve as the weekend nears, though light showers could return Friday evening before 10 p.m.
