The National Weather Service in Seattle has reported a series of rainy days ahead for the area, starting with a 90% chance of rain today and a high of 51 degrees. The south wind will move at 7 to 10 mph, potentially carrying new precipitation amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. As the day draws on, the heavens seem set to gradually, but not with certainty, close their watery gates before 7pm, followed by a fleeting respite. But inclement weather is forecast to likely return after 3am.
Looking further ahead to Saturday, the chance for rain drops to 40 percent before 10 am, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 57 anticipated. The evening, however, carries with it an increased likelihood to once again meeting rain, mainly after 4 am. The southeast wind will gently move at about 3 to 5 mph. Sunday's forecast calls for similar patterns, with persistent rain, a high near 53, and a 90% chance of precipitation. New amounts of rain, though less voluminous, are expected to reach between a tenth and a quarter of an inch again.
Sunday night should see the rain primarily before 10pm with a low hovering around 45 degrees. The start of the work week does not seem to bring an end to the wetness, as Monday has a 70% chance of rain, mainly before 4pm, followed by a possibility of more rain before 10pm. The week's skies may start to clear by Tuesday, with mostly cloudy conditions and highs approaching 57.
The remainder of the week appears to gradually brighten, with Wednesday offering partly sunny skies and a high near 60, transitioning into a partly cloudy night with lows around 42. The meteorological respite seems set to fully take hold by Thursday, boasting mostly sunny weather and a high near 58. For those weary from the gray skies and persistent drizzle, these later days in the forecast promise a small respite, an opportunity to perhaps rediscover the city's vistas often veiled by nature's weepings.
