Seattle weather: When will drier skies return?

If you're dreaming of summery weather in Seattle, we're not expecting that any time soon. We're gearing up for a damp and gray Saturday with a small chance for thunderstorms as well.

There might be a few lightning strikes in the greater Seattle area on Saturday.

In some areas today (especially King County and northward), we could see pockets of torrential rain. In isolated cases (particularly over the Cascades), there may be weak thunderstorms and small hail. 

People in Seattle can expect cloudy and wet weather this weekend.

Otherwise, this week will feature below-normal temperatures and occasional showers. 

Cooler-than-usual weather and scattered rain can be expected in Seattle on Saturday.

A light shower is a possibility on Wednesday, but that day may be primarily dry. Right now, Thursday is the only day that is looking entirely dry this week (that could change!). A spotty shower could develop next Friday. 

Along with the cooler-than-normal weather in Seattle this week, there's an almost daily chance for showers as well.

Cooler-than-average weather will persist in Seattle all week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
