SEATTLE - Enjoy the beautiful sunshine this afternoon! Rain, wind and spotty thunderstorms return to Seattle this upcoming weekend.

After a drippy and cloudy start to the day, increasing sunshine can be expected over T-Mobile Park this afternoon. If you're someone that runs a little cool, I'd advise bringing a sweatshirt to the Mariners game (in addition to sunglasses). The weather will be beautiful for a mid-October day in the Emerald City.

Highs this afternoon will be comfortable in the upper 50s to the low 60s.

Will it rain in Seattle?

What's next:

Saturday morning may be dry (albeit cloudy), but rain is back in action during the afternoon and evening. Late Saturday to Sunday morning, soaking rain is a possibility. It could be gusty at times on Sunday. In some cases in Western Washington, gusts could reach about 40 mph. The wind forecast is fluid right now and subject to change. Stick with us tonight and Saturday for additional updates.

Sunday will be a bit of a mixed bag: there will be rounds of rain, sunbreaks, isolated lightning strikes, pockets of small hail and blustery weather.

Drier conditions will follow between Monday through Wednesday. Heavier rain could stage a comeback by Thursday.

Wet weather is expected this upcoming weekend in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Take good care and GO MARINERS!!

Warmly,
