Washington – Crisp morning air and clear skies are settling over Seattle now, offering a calm and bright stretch before clouds and rain return to the region within the next couple of days.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures rise to around 60°F today under full sunshine, with light winds developing out of the northwest by afternoon. Roads across I-5, I-90, and downtown corridors remain dry, making for smooth travel through the day.
That quiet pattern continues into Thursday with highs near 63°F and mostly sunny skies. Conditions stay stable, giving western Washington a brief window of classic spring calm. By Friday, temperatures climb even higher to near 69°F with continued sunshine, marking the warmest day in this stretch.
Changes begin late Friday as clouds increase and a slight chance of rain develops overnight. While early impacts remain limited, the shift signals a wetter pattern moving into Puget Sound.
By Saturday, rain becomes likely, especially after midday. Expect wet pavement, reduced visibility, and slower travel along major routes like I-5 and Highway 99. Plan extra time and use caution during heavier showers.
Showers linger into Sunday with cooler highs in the mid-50s. The damp, gray pattern settles in briefly before conditions begin improving again early next week.
Looking ahead, partial clearing returns by Monday with mild temperatures holding. For now, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. Are you planning outdoor time before the rain arrives this weekend?
