Seattle weather: Monday will start with sprinkles, then dry skies in the afternoon

Highs for Memorial Day Monday will be a few degrees cooler than what we saw this weekend, peaking in the mid to upper 60s. After a few morning sprinkles, skies will dry and clear out for more afternoon sunshine.

The Brief

    • Expect mostly quiet and dry weather for Western Washington on Monday with highs in the mid to upper 60s, though isolated showers and even a stray lightning strike can't be entirely ruled out.
    • Temperatures will warm to the mid-70s on Tuesday, followed by a significant spike on Wednesday, potentially bringing the hottest temperatures of 2025 so far to the mid to upper 80s, including Seattle.
    • A dramatic cooldown is expected on Thursday, dropping temperatures to the upper 60s with light, occasional showers, followed by drier and quieter weather from Friday through next weekend.

As we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we are forecasting mostly quiet weather for Memorial Day events around western Washington. Only isolated showers are possible at times.

Highs this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 60s. While a stray shower is a possibility (I can't even rule out a couple of lightning strikes), most will experience tranquil and dry weather today. Sunbreaks are expected this afternoon.
