Seattle is waking up to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures near 50 degrees Tuesday, but the gray start should give way to a sunny afternoon. The high is expected to reach 61 degrees, with a north-northeast breeze around 8 mph and virtually no chance of rain.
Sunshine Arrives Before The Week Warms Up
Early low clouds and patchy fog around the Puget Sound should fade by late morning, setting up a much brighter stretch for the rest of the day. Wednesday looks even warmer, with sunshine, light north winds and a high near 65 degrees.
The National Weather Service in Seattle has no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the city. Overnight lows will remain crisp, falling to about 45 degrees Tuesday night and 46 degrees Wednesday night.
Rain Chances Return Thursday Evening
Clouds will begin building Thursday, with a high near 58 degrees and a chance of rain after 5 p.m. Friday should bring a brief mostly sunny reset, although temperatures will cool to around 56 degrees.
The weekend forecast includes a chance of rain Saturday, followed by likely rain Saturday night easing to a chance Sunday morning. Weekend precipitation chances are about 40% to 50%, with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Sunday brings a smaller chance of rain, partly sunny skies and a high near 57; the latest forecast sharpens the timing from Hoodline's Monday forecast.
Cool Mornings Stay In The Forecast
Friday night could dip to about 43 degrees before the weekend settles into another run of chilly mornings. Winds look generally light through the period, so the main planning issue is a simple one: enjoy the two sunny days, then keep a rain jacket nearby for Thursday night and the weekend.
