The National Weather Service in Seattle provides an up-to-date glimpse of the week's forecast, ensuring locals can prepare for the variability of Pacific Northwest weather. According to their latest update, today's partly sunny skies will eventually give way to a mostly cloudy night, with a slight chill in the air as temperatures hover around a comfortable 40 degrees Fahrenheit. As Seattleites enjoy the subdued winds and ponder the chance of rainfall, the question seems not if, but when the skies will open.
Residents waking up tomorrow can expect a 20 percent chance of rain after 10 a.m., with similar cloudy conditions and temperatures rising slightly to reach a pleasant high of 50. The weekend appears to follow this trend, with the likelihood of rain steadily increasing. By tomorrow night, the chance of precipitation is expected to reach 70 percent, making dry socks a fleeting hope. On the upside, rainfall is expected to total no more than a quarter of an inch—a small mercy for those venturing outdoors.
Sunday brings more rain, cloud cover, and patchy fog in the afternoon that may linger into the evening, though it is expected to clear before 11 p.m. With a steady south wind around 7 mph, the chance of rain climbs to 90 percent, and new precipitation could add up to half an inch to the already wet cityscape. For those seeking a bit of warmth, Monday offers a slight temperature increase, with highs near 54 degrees, though the skies will likely remain cloudy and damp, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Looking into the early days of the next week, the persistent rain theme continues with Monday evening potentially providing a brief reprieve before another deluge, while Tuesday promises a smidgen of relief in the form of mostly cloudy skies that should keep the rain at bay until the night, the city's residents might enjoy highs of 57 degrees, an unexpected warmth in the lingering grasp of winter, but as night falls the clouds will gather once again, and the temperature will drop back down to a cooler 45 degrees.
Midweek brings a brief break as Wednesday sees partly sunny skies and highs around 53 degrees, though clouds return by evening. On Thursday, there may be a few sunny breaks with a high near 50 degrees, but the night is expected to be mostly cloudy with lows in the low 40s, continuing Seattle’s familiar mix of sun and clouds.
