Seattle is starting Saturday under gray skies and a light rain threat, but the weekend is not shaping up as a full washout. Temperatures are near 57 degrees early Saturday, with rain most likely before noon and a brighter, partly sunny afternoon ahead. The high should reach about 61 before temperatures ease back later in the day.
The National Weather Service expects a 40% chance of rain and less than a tenth of an inch possible. Winds will shift direction before becoming northeasterly, with speeds around 3 to 6 mph after the early hours, a much calmer setup than the gustier conditions earlier Saturday.

Sunday Brings A Drier Reset
Saturday night should turn partly cloudy with a low around 46 degrees. Sunday looks dry and partly sunny, topping out near 58 with light north-northeast winds, making it the cleaner bet for parks, markets and other outdoor plans.

Sun Returns Before Rain Chances Rebuild
Monday stays mostly cloudy and cool near 57. Tuesday and Wednesday should be mostly sunny, with highs near 57 and 60, respectively, before another chance of light rain arrives Thursday afternoon and lingers into Thursday night; Friday stays partly sunny with only a slight rain chance.

For Seattle readers, the practical takeaway is simple: keep a jacket or compact umbrella handy Saturday morning, then plan around a drier stretch from Sunday through Wednesday. No land-based watches or warnings are listed for the city, although marine advisories are posted for parts of the coast and Strait of Juan de Fuca.
