Warm weather, highs almost to 80 in Seattle by Tuesday

After highs only reached the 50s in many spots on Saturday afternoon, we’re forecasting a gradual warm-up. In fact, temperatures could warm to almost 80 degrees in Seattle on Tuesday.

For today, any spotty clouds will lift – giving way to brilliant, sparkling blue skies and sunshine. Highs this afternoon will boost to above average, reaching the low 60s for many.

Brilliant sunshine and shower-free weather are expected in Seattle to round out the weekend.

Temperatures continue to climb on Monday as highs reach almost 70 degrees. By Tuesday, Seattle could approach 80 degrees. Many outlying communities could reach 80 (potentially including communities like North Bend, Issaquah, Olympia and Centralia). 

Temperatures will gradually rise in the coming days around Seattle as dry weather is on repeat.

Important reminder: water temperatures are dangerously cold. Though the air is warming up, rivers, creeks, streams and lakes are still frigid enough to produce cold water shock – possibly leading to drownings. Please wear a life vest at all times around the water.

As a trough of low pressure approaches, Wednesday will be cooler and cloudier with mountain showers.
