Seattle weather: Few morning clouds on Friday
Friday will be the warmest day of the extended forecast with temperatures reaching the upper 60s to low 70s. Skies will be a mix of sun and clouds into the afternoon.
SEATTLE - We saw a beautiful spring day across the region today, with partly to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 60s to low 70s. Conditions stayed quiet and dry for most locations, although we did monitor the chance for an isolated shower developing from Southwest Washington up toward the Olympic Peninsula.
Please note that we're carefully watching for the possibility of thunderstorms near Oregon today and tonight. South of Portland, a few storms today could be strong to severe.

Big picture view:
Tuesday will bring another uptick in activity, with breezier conditions and wetter weather moving back into the region. We are also tracking the potential for snow developing across the mountain passes and ski resorts from Tuesday night into Thursday, which could bring travel impacts at higher elevations.
For the workweek overall, highs will settle into the 50s, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s by Wednesday and Thursday mornings, signaling a cooler and more unsettled stretch ahead.
Through the week, Seattle weather stays unsettled with showers, breezy periods, and mountain snow chances. (FOX 13 Seattle)
