SEATTLE - For the first weekend of 2025, we’re forecasting dark, soggy and slightly breezy weather for Seattle.

Rainy weather is possible at times today and tomorrow in Seattle.

Highs this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 40s for most under cloudy skies. Rain will increase this afternoon and tonight. Showers linger Sunday before gradually tapering tomorrow afternoon.

Wet weather is likely in Seattle this weekend.

Scattered rain is predicted in Seattle the next two days. (FOX 13 Seattle)

A Winter Weather Advisory is posted from 4 p.m. today to 10 a.m. Sunday for elevations at and above 3,500 feet (this doesn't include Snoqualmie Pass). In some of these areas, there could be upwards of a foot of snow accumulating - with the highest amounts expected for the highest peaks.

If you have the privilege and luxury of adjusting your travel plans over the mountains this weekend, I'd recommend taking Snoqualmie Pass versus Stevens or White Passes. It'll be the easiest driving over the mountains either this morning or Sunday afternoon.

Snowy weather could make driving over some of the mountain passes dangerous by Saturday evening.

Winter weather could make traveling over Stevens and White Passes treacherous Saturday evening to Sunday morning. (FOX 13 Seattle)

It'll be blustery tonight around Western Washington as well. At most, there could be gusts up to 35-40 mph for the typical areas (including the Northwest Interior, the Admiralty Inlet area and the coast); however, winds don't currently look strong enough to warrant any official wind alerts. Of course, we'll let you know if anything changes.

Highs will reach the upper 40s around Western Washington on Saturday.

Temperatures on Saturday afternoon will reach the mid to upper 40s in the greater Seattle area. (FOX 13 Seattle)

King tides are happening this weekend in Central and South Puget Sound, including Seattle and Olympia. Right now, we don't expect flooding from these higher-than-usual tides.

Morning fog will give way to afternoon sunshine on Monday and Tuesday. Partly sunny skies will follow on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday may offer a light shower.

Drier and sunnier weather is a possibility in Seattle by Monday afternoon.

Drier weather will return to Seattle on Monday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
