Seattle is getting one last warm, easygoing day before the weekend turns cooler and wetter. Early Friday is clear and around 48 degrees near Boeing Field, with a little patchy fog possible where winds are calm. Skies should brighten quickly, sending afternoon temperatures toward 73 degrees.
Sunny Friday, Rain Arrives After Dark
Friday should stay mostly sunny with light south-southeast winds around 5 mph and little chance of rain during the day. The National Weather Service expects the next weather shift after 2 a.m. Saturday, when rain chances rise to about 50% and gusts could reach 21 mph.
Rainfall should remain light, with less than a tenth of an inch possible in the city. The timing is a sharper update to Hoodline's earlier forecast, which flagged the weekend change but had less detail on when the wet weather would arrive.
Saturday Brings Showers And A Big Cooldown
Saturday will feel much more like fall, with a chance of rain before 5 p.m., mostly cloudy skies and a high near 62 degrees. Showers could become more noticeable near the King-Snohomish County line, while west winds in the passes reach around 10 mph.
Sunday offers a brief dry break, with partly sunny skies and a high near 58 degrees. Monday and Tuesday stay cool, mostly cloudy to partly sunny, with highs in the upper 50s before another chance of light rain arrives around Thursday.
Boaters Face Rougher Strait Conditions
Seattle has no land-based watches, warnings or advisories in effect. A small craft advisory is scheduled for the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, with area seas building to 7 to 9 feet through the weekend.
