Seattle gets a brief late-summer reset Friday, with cloudy skies giving way to sunshine and a high near 72 degrees before rain moves in overnight. Saturday then brings a wetter, cooler setup, including showers and a small chance of thunderstorms around Puget Sound.
Friday Starts Gray Then Brightens
Early Friday is cloudy and calm, with temperatures around 61 degrees near Boeing Field. The clouds should thin through the afternoon as light southwest winds continue around 3 mph, with the temperature reaching about 72.
The National Weather Service expects rain to begin after 10 p.m. Friday. The chance of precipitation rises to about 80%, with rainfall totals between a tenth and a quarter-inch possible.
Saturday Brings Showers And A Thunderstorm Chance
Saturday starts wet, with rain likely before 11 a.m. Showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms could linger from late morning into the afternoon, while mostly cloudy skies hold the high near 68 degrees.
Winds should remain fairly light in Seattle, but the unsettled weather could complicate outdoor plans. Anyone heading onto the water should also note a Small Craft Advisory for the central Strait of Juan de Fuca from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday.
Sunday Offers A Brief Weather Reprieve
Sunday looks like the weekend’s better bet for a walk, game or patio stop, with partly sunny skies and a high near 69 degrees. Monday stays mostly pleasant as well, reaching about 71 under partly sunny skies.
Cooler And Wetter Weather Builds Midweek
The forecast turns more unsettled again Tuesday, when a slight chance of rain arrives after 11 a.m. Rain becomes likely Wednesday, with a much cooler high near 63 degrees, followed by another chance of rain Thursday and a high around 64.
