Seattle is waking Tuesday, September 8, to clear skies and temperatures around 55 degrees, but a little morning fog could briefly complicate the start of the day. The fog should lift before 10 a.m., giving way to sunny skies and a comfortable afternoon high near 72.

Sunny Tuesday And Wednesday

North winds will stay light Tuesday at 2 to 7 mph, making the afternoon a solid bet for walks, patios and other outdoor plans. Wednesday looks even warmer, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 75 before temperatures fall to about 57 overnight.

The updated forecast is a more detailed turn from Monday’s Hoodline outlook, especially as the late-week pattern shifts cooler and wetter. For now, Tuesday and Wednesday remain Seattle’s best weather window.

Clouds Return Before A Showery Weekend

Thursday will turn mostly cloudy and cooler, with a high near 69 and only a small chance of rain. Friday stays mostly cloudy near 69, with a slight chance of light rain arriving after 5 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

Saturday brings the most unsettled stretch of the forecast: rain could arrive before 11 a.m., followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. The high should reach about 68 degrees, with more rain possible Saturday night.

Sunday Rebounds With Some Sun

Sunday may start with a slight chance of rain before 11 a.m., then turn mostly sunny with a high near 70. Monday looks mostly sunny and mild near 71, and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for the area.
