Washington’s damp chill is settling in this morning, with gray clouds hanging low over Seattle and temperatures stuck near 41 degrees. Light rain is already dotting windshields, and roads across King County remain wet as drivers head out.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, scattered rain continues through today with highs near 47 degrees. Skies stay mostly cloudy into Sunday, when temperatures reach the mid-40s. By Sunday night, colder air filters in and a rain-snow mix becomes possible, especially after midnight, as lows dip into the mid-30s.
Little to no snow accumulation is expected in the city, but even brief flakes could create slick overpasses. This is the time of year when wet pavement can refreeze quickly if temperatures hover near freezing. Watch elevated stretches of I-5, I-90 and Highway 99 late Sunday into early Monday.
Rain becomes more widespread Monday, with highs near 44 degrees and precipitation chances around 60 percent. A mix of rain and snow may linger into Monday night as lows fall to the mid-30s again. Showers continue Tuesday with highs in the mid-40s.
Plan for damp commutes and allow extra time during heavier bursts. Keep jackets handy and check tire tread before heading into the hills.
By midweek, rain and snow chances persist at times, but longer-range signals show milder air gradually building later next week. President’s Day Week may end on a slightly warmer note, hinting at early spring vibes across western Washington.
