SEATTLE, Wash. – The city wakes under a crisp, calm dawn — a rare pause before November’s next push of Pacific rain. Streetlights shimmer faintly on damp pavement, and the air holds that cool, earthy scent only early fall in Seattle brings.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, dry skies hold through most of Sunday, with highs near 62°F under filtered sunshine. But clouds will thicken by evening as the next moisture-laden front drifts in from the Pacific. Rain becomes likely late Sunday night into Monday, marking the start of another wet, unsettled stretch across western Washington.
The Monday morning commute could turn slick, especially along I-5 and Highway 99, with steady light rain and areas of patchy fog in the lowlands. Highs will reach the upper 50s, but a persistent south wind will make it feel cooler. Periods of light rain continue through Monday night before tapering Tuesday morning.
Veterans Day looks drier and brighter, with some sunshine and highs in the mid-50s, perfect for outdoor ceremonies or local parades. By Wednesday, however, another storm system will roll inland, bringing steady rain, breezy winds, and possible travel delays for midweek commuters.
Residents should plan for wet roads, slower traffic, and reduced visibility, especially during early morning drives. After midweek, models hint at a break late Thursday before another potential system approaches next weekend — typical November rhythm for the Pacific Northwest, where the rain rarely stays gone for long.
