Washington – A gray sky hangs over Puget Sound this morning as mist drifts through downtown Seattle and light rain dampens pavement across the metro. Headlights reflect off slick roads while a steady marine chill lingers across the region.
Temperatures hover near 45°F early this morning, with mist and light rain moving through neighborhoods from Ballard to Bellevue. Roads along Interstate 5, Interstate 90, and Highway 99 remain wet, so commuters should allow extra travel time.
Meteorologists say scattered showers will continue into the afternoon. Cloud cover dominates much of the day, keeping temperatures near 50°F across Seattle and surrounding communities.
Rain chances increase again later tonight as a more organized band of moisture moves inland from the Pacific. Periods of rain may become steady at times, especially late evening into the overnight hours.
Friday continues the wet pattern across western Washington. Rain remains likely through much of the day with temperatures holding near 51°F. Low clouds and damp conditions will keep the classic Pacific Northwest feel in place.
The weekend stays unsettled as additional systems move inland. Saturday brings more rain with highs near 54°F, followed by another round of showers Saturday night.
Sunday remains cloudy with rain continuing across the region. Early Sunday morning also marks the Daylight Saving Time shift, when clocks move forward one hour at 2 a.m., bringing longer daylight evenings to the Pacific Northwest.
Late Sunday night into early next week, temperatures cool enough that rain could briefly mix with snow, especially outside the city or at higher elevations. No major accumulation is expected right now, but meteorologists are watching the pattern closely.
Keep rain gear nearby and expect damp commutes through the weekend.
