Washington – Rain dots windshields across Seattle, and damp roads are already slowing traffic as another round of showers moves through the region this morning.
According to the National Weather Service, rain remains likely through the afternoon with temperatures near 52°F and precipitation chances around 60%. Conditions stay mostly cloudy, with light southwest winds keeping the air cool and damp .
Across downtown Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma, drivers along I-5 and I-90 should expect slick pavement and reduced visibility during heavier showers. While rainfall totals remain light, steady drizzle can still create slowdowns, especially during peak travel times.
By late today, showers begin to taper. Clouds linger into the evening, but drier air gradually moves in. That shift becomes more noticeable by Friday, when skies turn partly sunny and temperatures climb into the mid-50s.
Heading into the first weekend of April, conditions improve significantly. Sunshine returns Saturday with highs near 59°F, followed by even milder weather Sunday with temperatures reaching the low 60s. It’s a welcome break after a damp stretch.
Looking ahead, early next week trends slightly warmer, with highs pushing toward the upper 60s by Monday before easing back into the upper 50s.
For now, keep rain gear handy and allow extra time on the roads today. Conditions will improve, but wet pavement lingers into the evening hours.
