What's next:

The weekend forecast is about as calm as it gets for late April. A steady northerly flow is keeping things dry and stable.

Expect mostly sunny skies both Saturday and Sunday with afternoon highs comfortably in the 60s. Overnight lows will be crisp with temps in the 30s and low 40s both mornings.

Big picture view:

After the weekend, expect more clouds Monday. A few showers could pop up near the Cascades. Tuesday will remain partly cloudy.

By the middle of next week, high pressure builds directly overhead. That will bring warmer temperatures Wednesday and Thursday with highs close to 70 degrees.

It will be sunny and mild the next 7 days in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
