Seattle gets one more dry day before the weekend turns wetter. Friday is expected to be mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching the 50s.

A Sunny Friday Before Clouds Return

At area terminals, winds will be light and variable early, becoming northerly by afternoon at 4–8 knots, and the chance of rain is close to zero. It should be the week’s best window for outdoor errands, neighborhood walks, or squeezing in one last patio coffee before the clouds make their return.

Friday night will be mostly clear and colder, with temperatures falling to around 42 degrees. Saturday will remain mild but mostly cloudy, with another high near 56 and only a small chance of rain during the day.

Rain Arrives Late Saturday

The forecast shifts late Saturday night into Sunday, with a chance of rain beginning after midnight.

Sunday looks mostly cloudy, with a chance of rain and a high near 57 degrees. A chance of showers continues Sunday night and into Monday, when temperatures should again top out near 56.

Showers Linger Into Next Week

Tuesday and Wednesday bring additional low-end rain chances, with partly sunny breaks possible and highs in the mid-50s. Thursday may bring morning showers, followed by dry conditions, keeping the week cool and unsettled rather than stormy.

The National Weather Service in Seattle said the weekend system should bring relatively light rain to Puget Sound, while the wet pattern gradually eases by the middle of next week. No land-based watches, warnings, or advisories are listed for Seattle in the current forecast.
