Washington skies are clear but brisk this morning, and the chill lingers as temperatures hover in the low 40s across Seattle. Sunshine will take over by midday, pushing highs near 51 degrees. The air feels crisp along Elliott Bay, and light north winds will turn northeast at 5 to 10 mph. If you’re stepping out early, keep a jacket handy.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, dry conditions hold through Sunday night with highs climbing to 54 Sunday and a milder 56 Monday. That subtle warming trend offers a brief Spring tease as March begins tomorrow. Skies stay mostly sunny through Monday afternoon before clouds thicken late Monday night.
Rain chances increase after 4 a.m. Tuesday, with a 70 percent likelihood of steady rainfall developing through the day. Wet pavement and reduced visibility could slow traffic along I-5, I-90, and Highway 99 during the Tuesday morning commute. Plan extra travel time and expect slick roadways.
While record warmth bakes the Southwest, cooler Pacific air keeps Western Washington seasonable. No snow is expected in Seattle, but mountain passes could see periods of rain and snow mix as colder air lingers north of the region.
Midweek remains damp, with rain likely Tuesday night into Wednesday and highs near the low 50s. The broader 6–10 day outlook hints at slightly above-normal temperatures returning late next week, reinforcing gradual early spring warmth across Puget Sound.
Daylight Saving Time begins March 8 at 2 a.m., bringing brighter evenings soon.
