Washington – Sunshine breaks through crisp morning air, but a gray wall of rain is already lining up offshore.
Skies stay bright into the afternoon with highs near 64°F, offering a brief, calm window across Seattle. Sidewalks dry, and visibility remains clear for commuters. That changes quickly heading into the evening.
According to the National Weather Service, rain develops by late Friday night with a 40% chance, signaling the start of a wetter stretch across western Washington. Clouds thicken first, then light rain spreads inland after sunset.
By Saturday morning, conditions shift noticeably. Rain becomes likely before midday, with a 70% chance and steady showers expected across Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett. Roads along I-5 and I-90 turn slick, especially during early travel hours.
Plan extra time if heading out Saturday morning. Wet pavement and reduced visibility will slow traffic.
Rain continues into Saturday night, though coverage becomes more scattered. Showers linger into Sunday, with highs dropping into the mid-50s. The air feels damp and cooler, a sharp contrast from the mild start.
Keep rain gear ready through the weekend. Conditions may stay unsettled into early next week with additional chances for showers.
