A mild and warmer football weekend ahead in Seattle

Seattle weather: Rainy Friday but nice weekend weather ahead

FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Brian MacMillan has your weekend forecast for Seattle and western Washington.

Seattle - A front pushing through Western Washington on Friday will continue to produce showers and breezy conditions for the rest of the day.

The widespread rain the area saw this morning is done, but more on and off showers are expected for Friday, with cool temperatures.

Rain could still linger in a convergence zone behind the front in areas around south Snohomish and north King counties through the evening commute, but everyone west of the Cascades should be mainly dry by Saturday morning.

The leaves are changing across Western Washington, especially north of Seattle and in the mountains. We should see fall colors peak in the next two to three weeks across the Puget Sound lowlands.

If you're heading to the UW Huskies game against Michigan on Saturday, or the Seahawks game against the New York Giants on Sunday, both days will be great for football. Temps will be a bit warmer Sunday, but both Saturday and Sunday should feature partly to mostly sunny skies by kickoff.
