Hey Seattle, guess what? The clouds are taking a break this weekend, and we’re getting something truly rare for January: sunshine! It’s the perfect excuse to head outside, soak up the clear skies, and enjoy a little winter warmth. Here’s what’s in store:

Saturday: Crisp and Clear
It’s going to be cold in the morning, around 30°F (-1°C), but the sun will make everything feel brighter. By the afternoon, temperatures will climb to 45°F (7°C)—a nice break from the chill. If you’re out after sunset, be prepared for it to drop back to 28°F (-2°C). Coat weather, but still a gorgeous day!
Sunday: Sunshine Stays Put
Sunday’s looking just as nice. It’ll start a little warmer in the morning at 32°F (0°C) and peak again at 45°F (7°C) by the afternoon. Whether it’s a walk in the park or just sipping coffee on the porch, this is a day to enjoy. By the evening, we’re back to about 30°F (-1°C), so keep that jacket handy if you’re out late.
Monday: Bright and Mild
Monday’s giving us more sunshine! Temperatures will kick off at 34°F (1°C) and hit 48°F (9°C) in the afternoon, making it the warmest day of the stretch. Evening temps will dip to around 30°F (-1°C) again, but the sunshine during the day should leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the week.
Make the Most of It
- Dress in Layers: Mornings and evenings are cold, but the afternoons will feel much nicer.
- Grab Sunglasses: Don’t underestimate how bright it’ll be—sunshine in Seattle is a winter luxury, so you’ll want to protect those eyes.
- Get Outside: Seriously, days like this are rare in January. Whether it’s a quick walk, a scenic drive, or just sitting outside for a bit, take advantage of it.

Seattle doesn’t often get a sunny winter weekend like this, so soak it up while it lasts. Even if you’re just running errands or grabbing coffee, take a moment to appreciate the clear skies and crisp air. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the beauty of our city—just don’t forget your coat!
