Seattle weather: Cloudy skies to start Thursday
Mostly cloudy skies to start Thursday with drier conditions through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Sunshine returns for the afternoon as well.
SEATTLE - After a cloudy and damp start, things are trending in a much brighter direction across western Washington just in time for the weekend.
Tonight, skies clear out, allowing temperatures to drop into the mid 30s to lower 40s. Some spots, especially in the Southwest Interior, could flirt with near-freezing conditions by early Saturday morning.

From there, we will get another classic spring rebound. Friday and Saturday are shaping up beautifully, with plenty of sunshine and highs climbing into the upper 50s to mid 60s. It’ll feel pleasant during the day, but mornings will still carry a chill, so keep the jacket handy early on.
It will be clear on Friday in Seattle with northerly winds. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What's next:
Looking ahead to the latter half of the weekend and early next week, the overall dry pattern continues. A weather system to the east may spark a few isolated, late-day showers over the Cascades Sunday and Monday, but most lowland areas stay dry.
By the middle of next week, a ridge of high pressure builds directly overhead, nudging temperatures even warmer, with some spots reaching the low 70s by Wednesday.
It will turn gradually warmer with more sunshine in Seattle the next seven days. (FOX 13 Seattle)
