Weather

Get ready for a beautiful week of weather in Seattle.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking the first area for potential tropical development for the 2025 season off Florida's eastern coast.

Mount Etna in Italy erupted on Monday, sending plumes of ash and smoke into the air as tourists fled from the area.

A series of wildfires burning across central Canada have sent smoke billowing into the U.S. over the past several days.

A severe geomagnetic storm is forecast for tonight, allowing the Northern Lights to be visible in much of our region.  The best times to possibly catch a glimpse would be between 11pm-2am.  

After waking up to patches of clouds this morning, bright beautiful sunshine is forecast for the rest of the day today. Highs will reach the upper 60s for many backyards.

The calendar says summer begins June 20 with the summer solstice, but "meteorological" or "climatological" summer starts three weeks earlier.

Light rain fell over much of Western Washington this morning and the cold front swept through the area.  Most areas saw close to 2-tenths of an inch of rain early this morning. Unfortunately, many spots east of the Cascades missed out on the rain and conditions there were dry with very gusty winds near the current wildfires. 

After a glorious day on Friday with highs in the upper 70s to the low 80s around Central and South Puget Sound, we're tracking cooler and slightly wetter weather on Saturday in Seattle. 

After light showers and breezy winds on Saturday, skies will dry out, and the afternoons will remain mild through next week.

Friday is looking warmer and sunnier compared to Thursday, but showers stage a comeback in the Seattle area on Saturday afternoon.
