Seattle, WA – Rain-soaked days are on the horizon for Seattle as the National Weather Service issues a Coastal Flood Watch, advising residents of potential coastal impacts and hazardous conditions into the weekend. Starting Friday, Seattle can expect showers throughout the day, which may heighten the risk of localized flooding, especially near Puget Sound and other low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service, there’s a 40% chance of showers beginning mid-morning Friday, with light southwest winds and a high of 48°F. Residents should be cautious around coastal roads and low-elevation areas where flooding could impact travel and safety. The watch is a reminder for Seattleites to monitor water levels and heed any future advisories.
Friday night will see a slight drop in rain, but a heavier band of precipitation is expected to roll in on Saturday. Forecasters predict an 80% chance of rain by late morning Saturday, driven by southeast winds reaching 9 mph. This rain will intensify into the evening, with a 100% chance of showers expected overnight and new rainfall accumulation between a quarter and half an inch possible.
The wet weather will persist into Sunday, with rain and a high near 51°F. Looking into early next week, Seattle remains under a rainy forecast, with temperatures hovering in the mid-40s and a persistent chance of showers. Locals should prepare for wet conditions by securing outdoor items and checking for any alerts from local agencies.
