Sunnier, drier and warmer weather this weekend in Seattle
Seattle weather: Showers off and on throughout Wednesday
Temperatures Wednesday will be in the low to mid 50s, and we'll see showers off and on throughout the day. Most of the showers will remain in the convergence zone. But you will most likely have a wet morning commute.
SEATTLE - Once we get through the isolated showers on Wednesday, drier, warmer and sunnier weather will return Thursday through Saturday.
This afternoon, highs will hover below average with mostly cloudy skies and a few sunbreaks. Folks in Western Washington will be dodging spotty showers today. I'd keep a warm, waterproof layer with you in case you get caught in the wet weather.
