Seattle Weather: Active, Stormy, and Soggy Conditions Expected Through the Weekend

Seattle is bracing for an active, stormy, and soggy weekend, with a series of cold fronts set to bring significant changes in the weather. According to the latest forecasts, the region can expect scattered rain, cloudy skies, and cooler temperatures throughout the weekend.

On Saturday, residents can anticipate a chance of rain in the morning, followed by likely rain in the early afternoon and continued rain showers later in the day. Temperatures will hover in the upper 50s to mid 60s, with south winds ranging from 10 to 20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph.

Sunday will see similar conditions, with rain likely in both the morning and afternoon. Rainfall amounts could range from a quarter to a half inch, and temperatures will remain in the upper 50s to mid 60s. South winds will continue, with gusts up to 25 mph.

The weather pattern is part of a broader trend of passing cold fronts that are transitioning the region from warm and calm conditions to rainy, cool, and breezy weather. Snow levels in the mountains are expected to drop below 4,000 feet, with the possibility of snowflakes mixing in at higher elevations like Stevens and White Passes.

By the end of the weekend, the clouds are expected to break up, and the sun may make a return. However, another weather system is forecasted to arrive by Friday, bringing more rain to the Olympic Peninsula and Northwest Interior, while the Central and South Sound will experience a scattered and showery pattern.
