Seattle, WA – Clouds will stick around the Seattle area through the weekend, with rain chances increasing early in the workweek. A stronger round of showers is expected by Tuesday night, but temperatures will remain mild, staying in the low 70s during the day and upper 50s to low 60s at night.
Weather Outlook
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, the rain chances begin to increase Sunday afternoon, with a 40% chance of showers. However, the most significant rainfall will likely hit late Tuesday, with precipitation chances reaching 70%.
Monday will feature only isolated showers, but more widespread rainfall is anticipated to impact King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties by midweek.
Key Tips for the Week Ahead
Drivers should prepare for slick roads and slower traffic, particularly on I-5 and SR-520, as wet pavement may cause delays Tuesday through Wednesday.
Light winds are expected, which will reduce storm hazards but may limit any air quality improvements due to lingering wildfire smoke in the region.
Keep umbrellas and rain gear handy, especially with cooler nights ahead, dropping into the upper 50s.
By late Wednesday, showers should taper off, giving way to partly sunny skies and more seasonal conditions by Thursday. Rain chances may persist into next weekend, though they are expected to be less widespread.
