Seattle weather: Sunnier skies and mild for Memorial Day weekend

A great way to kick off our long holiday weekend today. Plenty of blue skies with a mix of some clouds, but still dry. Afternoon highs were near seasonal averages in the upper 60s.

Memorial Day weekend is shaping up to be quite nice. We will enjoy lots of sunshine, especially Saturday with highs in the mid to upper 70s area wide. A few stray showers are possible on Monday, but conditions are forecast to be more dry than wet.
