Seattle, WA — Showers are expected to kick off November with a wet weekend in Seattle, starting Friday. Residents along I-5 and surrounding areas should prepare for steady rain and fluctuating temperatures. With a 100% chance of precipitation, Friday’s showers could accumulate between a quarter and half an inch, making roads slick and impacting visibility for drivers. Weather experts advise keeping rain gear handy and preparing for slower commutes due to wet conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday will see a high near 52°F, with a southeast wind at 5 to 8 mph. This southeast breeze will bring in moisture from the Pacific, maintaining Seattle’s rainy trend. Friday night’s showers will continue, with temperatures dropping to around 47°F and a 90% chance of rain, which could contribute to localized flooding in low-lying areas. Motorists should exercise caution, especially during late-night drives, when visibility might be reduced.
On Saturday, showers are likely to persist, bringing a high near 53°F, and another 80% chance of rain. This pattern continues into Saturday night, with showers lingering and a low around 46°F. Sunday’s forecast hints at more rain, especially during the morning hours, with a high of 53°F expected.
The rain tapers slightly by Monday, but brief showers will still be in the mix, primarily around midday. Tuesday could offer a slight reprieve, with partly sunny skies expected alongside a high near 52°F. However, rain may return midweek.
