Morning Clouds Give Way To Mild Afternoon
A shallow bank of low coastal clouds may push inland before sunrise, but it is expected to retreat toward the coast by early afternoon. Winds will stay light at about 1 to 5 mph, generally shifting toward the northwest, according to the National Weather Service Seattle.
Warmest Stretch Arrives Thursday And Friday
Thursday should be sunny and warmer, with a high near 80 and an overnight low around 60. Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, bringing mostly sunny skies and a high near 82 before temperatures settle back into the upper 70s over the weekend.
Weekend Stays Comfortable Before Rain Chance
Saturday and Sunday will be partly sunny with highs near 79 and nighttime lows around 59 or 60. A slight chance of light rain arrives Monday evening after 5 p.m., followed by another slight chance before 11 a.m. Tuesday, when the high should reach about 75.
Mountain Plans May Need A Closer Look
The city forecast remains mostly dry, but afternoon showers or isolated thunderstorms could develop over the Olympics and northern Cascades through the weekend. Forecasters say any storms are not expected to bring widespread soaking rain, and no watches or warnings are posted for Seattle.
