Seattle is starting Monday under cloudy skies with temperatures around 50 degrees, but the day should stay dry and mild. The thermometer is expected to top out near 60 before slipping into the upper 40s tonight.

Patchy fog is possible through the morning, especially in the usual fog-prone pockets, though light winds and a small rain chance should keep the commute mostly uneventful. The National Weather Service has no watches, warnings, or advisories posted for Seattle.

Sunny Skies Take Over Tuesday And Wednesday

Clouds begin thinning Monday night before Tuesday turns mostly sunny, with a high near 60 and north-northeast winds around 6 to 9 mph. Tuesday night should be mostly clear with a low near 45, although another round of morning fog is possible.

Wednesday looks like the week’s brightest day, with sunshine and a high near 64. Winds should remain light, making it the best bet for a walk, lunch outside, or any other activity that benefits from Seattle briefly pretending it has forgotten about rain.

Rain Chances Return Thursday Evening

The pattern turns more unsettled Thursday, when mostly cloudy skies and a high near 57 will be followed by a chance of rain after 5 p.m. Friday then rebounds with mostly sunny skies, though temperatures will be cooler, topping out near 56.

Rain chances rise again Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 50s and precipitation chances ranging from about 40% to 50%. Forecasters say the weekend setup remains uncertain, but no significant winds are included in the current forecast.
