Seattle is waking up to mostly clear skies and temperatures around 61°F at Boeing Field early Wednesday, with calm winds and no rain in sight. The payoff is a sunny, comfortable afternoon near 74°F — a classic summer setup before the weekend changes the script.
Sunny Stretch Builds Through Friday
Wednesday will stay sunny with light northwest winds, while Thursday warms up to around 77°F under mostly clear skies. Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with sunshine and a high near 82°F, although the heat risk is expected to remain minor.
The National Weather Service Seattle says the dry, warmer pattern will hold through Friday as high pressure builds over the region. That is a notable shift from Hoodline’s earlier update, with the latest forecast now pointing to a clearer and warmer end to the workweek.
Weekend Brings Rain Chances And Cooler Air
The pattern turns late Friday night, when a chance of light rain arrives after 5 a.m. Saturday. Saturday should be partly sunny with a high near 72°F and a 36% chance of rain, followed by a mostly cloudy Saturday night and a low around 56°F.
Sunday looks mostly sunny but cooler, with a high near 69°F. Dry weather returns Monday and Tuesday, when highs are expected to reach about 72°F and 77°F, respectively.
Small Craft Advisory Set For Strait Waters
Anyone heading onto the water should note a Small Craft Advisory from 7 p.m. Wednesday through 5 a.m. Thursday for the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca. Coastal waters are expected to see seas around 4 to 6 feet into early next week, even as conditions remain quiet across Seattle itself.
