Washington wakes up damp and chilly, with light rain tapping rooftops across Seattle. Temperatures sit near 37 degrees, and pavement along I-5 and Highway 99 looks wet under gray skies. A brief rain and snow mix is possible early, especially in higher neighborhoods.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, rain becomes widespread by late morning. Highs reach 47 degrees today with precipitation chances near 80 percent. East-southeast winds remain light, but steady rainfall continues into the evening.
Rain intensifies Sunday, with highs near 51 degrees and a 90 percent chance of measurable precipitation. Another round follows Sunday night. By Monday, rain becomes nearly certain, with a 100 percent chance and additional rainfall between a quarter and half inch possible.
That means ponding on roads and slower travel during the Monday commute. Plan extra time if you’re heading across the I-90 bridge or north along I-5. Wet pavement and reduced visibility will linger into Tuesday, when highs hover near 49 degrees.
While this is classic Pacific Northwest February weather, snow levels stay high enough to keep most flakes out of downtown. Still, colder pockets could briefly mix early in the day.
Looking ahead, temperatures hold near 50 through midweek with repeated rain chances. Longer-range trends hint at slightly milder air late next week, offering subtle spring vibes.
