Spring-like weather in January for Seattle

Seattle weather: stray showers with sunbreaks

FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone has your seven-day forecast.

SEATTLE - Temperatures in Seattle on Saturday will be like those commonly felt in April – not January. 

Sunnier and drier weather will follow early rain in Seattle on Saturday.

Beyond isolated showers early Saturday due to a weak warm front, drier and sunnier weather will follow in the afternoon as a ridge of high pressure develops overhead. This ‘weather maker’ will promote unusually mild temperatures: in fact, Sea-Tac Airport will approach the all-time record for the 31st of January (which stands at 61 degrees from 1960).

Sea-Tac will get close to records again on Wednesday and Thursday of next workweek.

As for Sunday, you can plan on slightly breezy conditions with on-and-off rain. Scattered showers continue into Monday.

While there might be a rain/snow mix down to the elevation of 4,500 feet Sunday night to Monday, we otherwise predict elevated snow levels this week. In addition to the ski resorts not seeing much if any new snow, any existing snow will be susceptible to melting.

Snow levels will remain above the passes over the coming week in the Washington Cascades. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Warmer-than-normal weather is expected in Seattle on multiple days this week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
