Seattle is starting Thursday, October 1, under cloudy skies and temperatures near 54 degrees, but the day should brighten into a mild autumn afternoon. The high is expected to reach about 66 degrees, with light northwest winds and almost no chance of rain.
According to the National Weather Service Seattle forecast, a weak system could bring light showers to northern parts of Western Washington, while Seattle stays largely dry. Winds should remain gentle, generally around 3 mph, making for an easy commute and comfortable outdoor plans.
Friday Brings The Warmest Afternoon
Friday looks like the warmest day of the immediate stretch, with partly sunny skies and a high near 70 degrees. Overnight lows will sit in the low to mid-50s, so a jacket will still be useful after sunset.
Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 67, followed by a sunny Sunday near 69 degrees. The weekend forecast remains dry, with light north winds adding a crisp edge rather than a serious chill.
Cooler But Still Dry Next Week
Temperatures ease back slightly Monday through Wednesday, with highs around 67, 65 and 64 degrees, respectively. Skies should remain mostly sunny to partly cloudy, and rain chances stay near zero through Wednesday, October 7.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Seattle. For now, the rain jacket can take a short vacation while the city gets a fairly friendly opening to October.
