Seattle is starting Tuesday under gray skies, with rain moving across the city and temperatures hovering around 50 degrees. The wet weather will stick around for much of the day, with a high near 57 and roughly a quarter- to half-inch of rain possible.
South-southeast winds will run around 9 mph in Seattle, with stronger gusts possible at times across the region. Roads may be slick during the morning and afternoon commute, while low clouds and steady rain could make visibility less cooperative, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain Eases Before A Mild Veterans Day
Tuesday night should remain mostly cloudy, with a chance of rain before 2 a.m. and a low near 53. Wednesday, Veterans Day, will be cloudy but notably mild, with temperatures climbing to about 65 degrees and only a small chance of rain.
That brief break will not last long. Thursday stays cloudy with a high near 60, rain becomes more likely Thursday night, and another round of wet weather is expected Friday through Sunday, with highs in the mid to upper 50s Friday and Saturday and in the lower to mid-50s Sunday.
More Rain And Wind For The Weekend
The weekend forecast calls for rain each day, with breezy conditions Friday night and Saturday night; overnight lows will be near 50 Friday, in the upper 40s Saturday and in the mid-40s Sunday. Sunday night brings another likely round of rain, followed by a cooler Monday with a chance of showers and a high near 52.
The NWS Seattle forecast discussion also flags rougher conditions along the Washington coast, where wind, high surf and coastal flooding advisories are in effect Tuesday. Those coastal impacts are separate from Seattle's city forecast, but they matter for anyone planning a beach trip or ferry-connected outing.
