Seattle, WA – Gray skies and the soft hiss of drizzle greet the Puget Sound this early morning, with slick streets reflecting city lights and damp leaves plastered to curbs. It’s a familiar November rhythm for Western Washington — and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.
The National Weather Service in Seattle reports steady showers early Monday tapering to lighter rain by late morning. After a brief lull, clouds will linger into Veterans Day on Tuesday, but much of the day should stay dry with highs near 53°F — a welcome window for ceremonies and travel. Winds ease to calm levels, and a few sun breaks could briefly peek through.
By Wednesday, another Pacific system rolls ashore, bringing widespread rain and a breezy south wind. Expect gusts near 25 mph along the coast and scattered puddles and slow travel across I-5 and Highway 99. Rain chances exceed 80% midweek and continue in waves through Thursday and Friday, with temperatures steady in the low to mid-50s.
Looking toward the weekend, models hint at another front late Saturday, though details remain uncertain. After all, November is Seattle’s rain season in full stride — and this week will prove it, puddle by puddle. Keep the rain gear handy, and watch for brief dry breaks to tackle leaf cleanup before the next soaking arrives.
