Early week sunshine offers rare October 70s, then rainy days

Seattle weather: Early week sun turns to scattered rainy days

FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone has your weekend forecast with a look at what to experience next week.

SEATTLE - Highs across Seattle and Puget Sound will warm to the low to mid 70s Monday afternoon! This warmup will be accompanied by dry weather and stunning October sunshine.

Temperatures in the 70s are somewhat rare during the month of October in the Seattle region though it’s not unheard of. On average, Sea-Tac Airport experiences temperatures of at least 70 degrees twice in October. The average last 70-degree day every year at Sea-Tac is October 8.

The weather in Seattle will be sunny and dry for the Seahawks game Sunday afternoon.

After working through some pockets of fog earlier this morning, bountiful sunshine is forecast throughout the rest of the day. The weather will hold up fabulously for the Seahawks game this afternoon.

People in Seattle can expect lovely weather on Sunday.

Later tonight, there’s a low chance to see the northern lights near the Canadian border, but keep in mind: space weather forecasting is challenging and subject to change. Also, cloud cover near Canada could obscure the viewing somewhat.

Dry and quiet weather is predicted in Seattle through Monday.
