Seattle rolls into Saturday under crystal clear skies and crisp air, waking up to about 41°F and the kind of chill that makes a hot coffee feel mandatory. Sunshine will rule the day and help nudge afternoon highs into the low 60s, but mornings stay on the cold side and a bit of frost is still fair game in low‑lying neighborhoods. A light jacket should cover most morning errands, though it will feel pretty brisk near the water once the afternoon breeze kicks up.
Sunny Weekend, Cool Mornings
The National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny skies through the weekend, with a high near 63°F on Saturday and near 66°F on Sunday, and overnight lows holding in the low to mid 40s. A Frost Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM PDT this morning for low‑lying parts of the south Puget Sound region; cover tender plants and watch for slick spots on quiet, shaded roads, according to NWS Seattle.
Morning Observations
At Boeing Field, observers are reporting clear skies and temperatures in the low 40s early this morning, with calm to light winds that should allow readings to climb quickly after mid‑morning. If you're heading out early, budget a few extra minutes for tending plants or clearing chilly windows, per Boeing Field.
Afternoon Winds And Looking Ahead
North winds are expected to pick up this afternoon, with gusts near 20 mph along waterways and hilltops that could make ferry decks and exposed walks feel downright blustery. A weak system may brush the region Monday night into Tuesday with only a slight chance of light rain before a ridge builds back in and bumps temperatures into the upper 60s to low 70s by midweek, as noted in the NWS forecast discussion.
Bottom line: enjoy the wall‑to‑wall sun but layer up for those frosty‑feeling mornings, cover sensitive plants, and secure any lightweight patio furniture that sits in the line of that northwest breeze. Keep an eye on updated forecasts before locking in evening outdoor plans; forecasters will post any tweaks to that small shower chance early next week.
