Seattle weather: Mainly dry Wednesday
Mainly dry conditions will persist in Seattle Wednesday through Friday.
Seattle - Wednesday will be the warmest day of the year so far in Seattle with high temperatures close to 60 degrees.
An upper-level ridge of high pressure over the Pacific Northwest will bring patchy morning fog and lots of afternoon sunshine Wednesday.
The last time Sea-Tac Airport hit 60 degrees was on Nov. 8, 2024.

Dry and sunny conditions return to western Washington
Big picture view:
A weak system will push into western Washington early Thursday morning, but most of the rain showers will break up as the front moves inland. The best chance for rain will be in the north Puget Sound, on the Washington Coast and over the Olympic Peninsula. Temperatures will remain warm on Thursday, in the upper 50s for most.
Dry weather and partly sunny skies return on Friday with temperatures back in the mid to upper 50s.
The ridge of high pressure responsible for the dry weather will push east on Saturday, opening the door for a chance of light showers over the weekend. The best chance for showers will be Saturday night into Sunday.
What's next:
It has been a wet 10 days, but western Washington needed it after a very dry start to February. Seattle will end the month with slightly below average rainfall totals.
