Seattle, say goodbye to that dry stretch—because the rain is making a comeback! If you’ve lived here long enough, you know the drill: showers, gusty winds, and cool temperatures are rolling in just in time for the weekend.
Planning to be out and about on Saturday? You’ll definitely want a rain jacket, an extra layer, and maybe a little extra patience—because it’s going to be a soggy one!
Saturday’s Forecast: Wet, Windy, and Chilly
Seattle’s weather is flipping the switch, and it’s back to business as usual with rain arriving early Saturday and sticking around all day.
Rain:
-
80% chance of showers—so yes, it’s safe to assume you’ll get wet.
-
Light drizzle in the morning, picking up in the afternoon and evening.
-
The rain won’t be constant, but when it comes, it’ll come down steady.
Wind:
-
Breezy throughout the day, with gusts up to 25 mph.
-
That means umbrellas may be useless—so a waterproof hood is your best bet.
-
Bridges, open roads, and coastal areas will feel stronger gusts.
Temperatures:
-
Highs in the mid-50s, but wind and rain will make it feel colder.
-
If you’re heading out, layer up—it’s a ‘sweater under the raincoat’ kind of day.
Heading Out? Be Ready for Wet Roads & Slower Traffic!
If you’re planning to drive anywhere along the I-5 corridor, keep in mind: wet pavement, rain glare, and gusty winds could make for tricky conditions.
What to Watch Out For:
Roads will be slick, so give yourself extra stopping distance.
Wind gusts on bridges and highways may make driving feel a little shaky.
If you’re heading into the mountains, rain could turn into snow at higher elevations—so check pass conditions first!
What About Sunday? Any Dry Weather in Sight?
Sunday will be a little drier, but don’t expect blue skies. Scattered showers will still be around, and it’ll stay cool and damp. If you’re hoping for sunshine, well… it’s Seattle in the fall—so don’t hold your breath.
Looking ahead to next week? More rain is possible by midweek, because let’s be honest—it’s that time of year.
The Rain is Back, So Grab Your Raincoat!
Saturday: Showers and wind return—expect a wet, blustery day.
Travelers beware: Slick roads, gusty winds, and possible mountain snow.
Sunday: Showers ease up, but don’t count on a completely dry day.
Next Week: More rain likely—because, well, it’s Seattle!
So whether you’re heading out or staying in, embrace the drizzle, grab a warm drink, and settle in for that cozy, classic Pacific Northwest weekend.
