Seattle residents might want to hold off on packing away their umbrellas just yet, as the National Weather Service in Seattle WA has reported a continued pattern of showers and predominantly cloudy skies for the upcoming week. In a city no stranger to rainfall, the current conditions show a humidity of 93% with a noticeable south easterly wind moving at a gentle pace of 4 MPH, rendering the atmosphere damp and chilled at a temperature of 48°F, though it feels slightly warmer at a wind chill of 47°F, according to NWS Seattle . Looking ahead, there's no respite for those yearning for drier times; showers are expected to persist with overnight precipitation chances standing strong at 90%, and Friday forecasting a definite soak with probabilities hitting the 100% mark, the south winds might pick up between 9 to 13 mph bringing new precipitation amounts ranging from a tenth to a quarter of an inch, as unrelenting as the city's love for its coffee, Friday Night will transition slightly with only a 40 percent chance of showers after 2 a.
m. while the south wind maintains a consistent lazy dance around 6 to 8 mph. For those making weekend plans, the weather seems to take a tiny detour with a partly cloudy Saturday night, which could offer a brief window of reprieve with a low near 40, before seeing a pickup in temperature to a high near 61 on Sunday, the promise of a partly sunny sky teasing a much-needed break from the moisture-laden atmosphere prior to the return of showers Sunday night, where chances of precipitation crawl back up to 80%.
The week ahead doesn't stray far from this narrative, with a stain of showers coloring most of the forecast; Monday continues this damp saga with showers and mostly cloudy skies, while Monday night and Tuesday repeat this rhythm with showers likely, mostly before and after 11 p.m., respectively, delicate negotiations between the elements and the land, showing no clear victor as wednesday introduces more showers likely and a tinge of consistency in cloud coverage while temperatures hover around the mid-50s, an equilibrium that residents have come to recognize as the numbing norm.
