Seattle to see drier, milder weather into weekend

Seattle weather: Partly cloudy with a coastal shower

FOX 13 Seattle Meteorologist Ilona McCauley has your latest western Washington weather forecast.

We are wrapping up a beautiful day today with highs topping 60 degrees at Sea-Tac, officially making it the warmest day so far this year. A weak ridge of high pressure kept us dry today, but enough high and mid-level clouds to ensure a colorful sunset.

Another mild day is forecast for Thursday with highs back into the low 60s. Our 60-degree weather is right on time in western Washington. We typically see our first 60-degree day around February 22nd. The earliest we've seen it is Jan. 3rd of 2020, and the latest was April 11, 1954. Luckily, we don't have to wait that long this year to see a little warmth.

Forecast high temperatures around Western Washington.

A mild day with highs nearing the upper 50s to lower 60s again Thursday.

We officially hit 60 degrees today marking the warmest day so far this year!

A weak front will bring a slight chance of showers along the coast and to our northern region near the Canadian border. The front will weaken and fall apart as it moves onshore, so rainfall will be very isolated and light.
