Seattle weather: overcast and wet weekend ahead
FOX 13 meteorologist Abby Acone has your seven day forecast
Today’s weather recap
SEATTLE - Today we were expecting gray skies and overcast conditions across western Washington with mild highs in the mid-50s. It was also slightly breezy at times. We were watching for very isolated light sprinkles and the occasional brief shower, but overall the day leaned mostly cloudy with spotty, light precipitation.
Sunday outlook
For Sunday, expect a couple of showers with morning clouds and some afternoon sun breaks for parts of the region. However, communities around Seattle and Everett could hold onto clouds and showers longer into the afternoon as a convergence zone sets up nearby. That feature can keep localized bands of showers lingering even while other areas start to dry out.
This Seattle weather setup could also include a convergence zone keeping showers around longer for some communities. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Sunday night into Monday morning
We’ll see another uptick in shower chances Sunday night into early Monday morning. Because overnight temperatures will be just a few degrees above freezing in parts of Puget Sound, a few communities could briefly see a rain-snow mix early Monday. At this point, temperatures still look warm enough that lowland accumulations are unlikely.
Cooling trend for the work week
A noticeable cooldown is expected heading into the work week. Monday could still bring a few sun breaks at times, but skies trend mainly cloudy again starting Tuesday as cooler air settles in across the region.
Expect typical early-spring Seattle weather with clouds, cool air, and brief sun breaks. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Mountain snow and midweek impacts
Wednesday and Thursday are shaping up to bring impressive mountain snowfall. This will be great news for ski resorts in the Cascades, but it could create difficult travel conditions across the mountain passes. If you’re planning to drive over the Cascades, be sure to check the latest road conditions and restrictions with WSDOT before heading out. Wednesday could also turn windy at times, so that’s something we’ll be watching closely as the forecast evolves.
River and flooding outlook
At this time, widespread river flooding is not expected this week. However, the Skokomish River in Mason County could approach or reach flood stage sometime Thursday into Friday depending on how the incoming systems evolve. Timing and intensity may still shift, so we’ll keep monitoring that closely.
Lowland rain-snow mix potential
With colder air arriving during the work week, there may be a few periods — particularly during the early morning or evening hours — when a mix of moisture and near-freezing temperatures produces a rain-snow mix in the lowlands. Right now, elevations below about 1,500 feet still appear unlikely to see meaningful snow accumulation, but we’ll keep watching temperature trends as the week unfolds.
Spring forward and sunset tracker
Don’t forget that we spring forward early Sunday morning as daylight saving time begins. That means we lose an hour of sleep overnight, but the tradeoff is longer daylight in the evenings. In fact, we’re starting to see our first 7:00 p.m. sunsets return to Western Washington, a sign that brighter and longer spring evenings are on the way around Seattle.
The Seattle weather outlook also includes a few chances for a rain-snow mix during chilly mornings, though lowland accumulations look unlikely. (FOX 13 Seattle)
