Seattle is starting Sunday, October 25, with light rain at Boeing Field, where mist is reported and the temperature is near 48 degrees. Visibility is 5 statute miles, with southeast winds at 6 knots. The gray, damp setup is expected to stick around through much of the day.
Rain is forecast across the city through late afternoon, with a high near 55 degrees; Boeing Field has a 70% chance of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service. Rainfall in Seattle could total roughly a tenth to a quarter inch, while the broader region sees heavier pockets. The forecast calls for a 5 mph south wind becoming calm.
The rain is arriving more decisively than Saturday’s outlook suggested, when showers were framed as a Sunday possibility after a mostly cloudy weekend start. The latest update from Hoodline’s previous Seattle forecast is now superseded by a wet morning already underway and a more active midweek pattern.
Monday And Tuesday Keep The Umbrella Nearby
Monday brings partly sunny skies Monday afternoon, a high near 56 and a 30% chance of rain, mainly before 5 p.m. Another weak round of showers is possible Monday night, while Tuesday stays mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 40s to low 50s and a similar low-end rain chance. Southerly winds of 3 to 6 mph are forecast Tuesday.
Wednesday Looks Like The Week’s Biggest Weather Turn
Rain becomes more widespread Tuesday night into Wednesday, when the forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms between late morning and late afternoon. Wednesday’s high should reach only about 54 degrees, followed by more rain Wednesday night and likely rain Thursday, with a high near 52. The National Weather Service also expects a colder air mass to lower snow levels below 3,500 feet, bringing several inches to some mountain passes.
For Seattle proper, the practical issue is a cooler, wetter commute rather than severe weather: no land-based watches or warnings are listed for the city in the supplied forecast. Boaters and waterfront travelers should be more cautious, however, because marine advisories are posted for parts of the coast, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands, with some exposed locations facing gusts up to 35 mph.
A Drier Weekend May Finally Peek Through
Rain chances ease Friday, which should turn partly sunny with a high near 52, and Saturday is forecast to be partly sunny around 52 degrees. Until then, the week’s winning outfit is still the usual Seattle fall combination: waterproof shoes, a jacket, and patience.
