Seattle is starting Tuesday under cloudy skies with temperatures around 48 degrees and a high near 60 ahead. The gray spell will not last all week: a warmer, brighter turn arrives Thursday and Friday before rain chances return Friday night and build into Sunday and Monday.
Cloudy Tuesday Gives Way To A Warmer Finish
Tuesday stays mostly cloudy with light southeast winds. Wednesday should be partly sunny and reach 64, followed by mostly sunny skies near 69 Thursday and 72 Friday.
Rain Waits Until Friday Night
Cooler, wetter conditions move in Friday night and continue into Saturday. The National Weather Service says a stronger Pacific system could arrive Sunday night into Monday, when rain is likely and Seattle's high may struggle to reach the mid-50s.
Best Windows For Outdoor Plans
For walks, errands and outdoor plans, Thursday and Friday look like the best bets, with mild temperatures and little or no rain expected. Saturday looks less favorable as cooler, wetter conditions arrive, and the potentially stronger system could arrive Sunday night into Monday.
The latest outlook sharpens the timing from Hoodline's Monday forecast: the weekend's wetter turn now looks more likely to arrive Friday night and become more persistent Sunday night into Monday. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Seattle.
