Washington – Gray clouds and a crisp chill are hanging over Seattle this afternoon, with temperatures stuck in the mid-40s and a damp feel in the air that signals a slow but steady warm-up ahead.
According to the National Weather Service, highs climb to around 56°F today with mostly sunny breaks developing later, while light winds keep conditions calm across King County . That shift marks the beginning of a noticeable warming trend heading into the weekend.
Across downtown Seattle, Bellevue, and along the I-5 corridor, roads remain dry and visibility stays clear. The bigger story is the temperature swing. Morning lows near 40°F give way to milder afternoons, reducing any risk of slick spots but keeping a brisk edge early in the day.
By Saturday, highs jump to the mid-60s with partly sunny skies, offering one of the warmest days of the stretch. Sunday follows with similar conditions, hovering near 68°F under mostly cloudy skies. It’s a solid window for outdoor plans, though cloud cover may linger at times.
The pattern holds into Monday with highs near 69°F before conditions begin to shift again. A slight chance of rain develops late Monday night, with more consistent showers possible into Tuesday. Wet pavement could return quickly after several dry days, especially during early commutes.
Looking ahead, temperatures dip back into the upper 50s by midweek as rain chances increase.
