Seattle rolled out of bed under a cool, gray lid Monday morning, with Boeing Field clocking in at about 48°F around 5:35 a.m. PT on April 27, 2026. A shallow marine layer has much of Central Puget Sound and shoreline neighborhoods tucked under low clouds, while inland spots are on track for at least partial clearing later in the day. By afternoon, look for a mild finish with highs near 61°F and a light south-southwest breeze.
Morning Clouds And Small Craft Advisory
Onshore flow will keep the stratus hanging tough through the morning, with a bit of coastal drizzle possible and MVFR ceilings at area airports that should lift to VFR by mid to late afternoon. Out on the water, a Small Craft Advisory is in place for parts of the Central and Eastern Strait and the Northern Inland Waters, with seas building to around 6 to 9 feet as the week goes on. According to the National Weather Service, south-southwest winds should mostly stay in the 5 to 10 mph range, although gusts into the low 20s are possible at times.
Midweek Warm-Up
Tuesday keeps more clouds in the picture, with highs near 59°F before the pattern starts to pivot. By Wednesday, sunshine should take the lead with highs in the mid 60s, and Thursday looks ready to nudge into the low 70s. Forecast blend models continue to push daytime highs into the low to mid 70s by Sunday, which brings an outside shot at an unusually warm day for early May.

Commutes And Weekend Plans
Morning commuters should budget a little extra time for low clouds and some patchy fog near the water, while inland neighborhoods will be the first to snag afternoon sunshine. Expect light winds, a generally dry stretch through the week, and no river flooding anticipated over the next seven days. If your plans involve a flight or time on the water, be sure to check the latest conditions before you head out, since local marine and airport forecasts will have the most up to date details.
