Seattle weather today is shaping up to be partly sunny with a high near 61°F, thanks to an upper-level ridge settling along the British Columbia coast and light onshore flow pushing through the Puget Sound.
Here’s what to expect: Stratus clouds will blanket the Central Puget Sound through sunrise this morning—the National Weather Service reports the marine layer already stretching from the Southwest Interior all the way up to Skagit County as of 3 AM. Expect mostly cloudy skies along the coast and over areas like West Seattle and Ballard through mid-morning, with a chance of light drizzle near the Olympics. But here’s the good news: by afternoon, the interior will see a “breakout,” with clouds thinning over neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, the University District, and around T-Mobile Park. South-southwest winds will stay light at around 9 mph, so it won’t be windy—just pleasantly cool.
With pollen counts ramping up as spring deepens, bring an allergy relief nasal spray and eye drops for allergy itch relief if you’re heading outdoors. If you’re planning to catch the Tacoma Rainiers vs. Las Vegas Aviators game at Cheney Stadium tonight, you’ll have decent conditions—no rain expected, though it’ll cool to around 48°F by game time, so a light jacket is smart. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to rep the Rainiers in style.
For concert-goers, the Queens of the Stone Age: The Catacombs Tour at the Paramount Theatre and Helloween: 40th Anniversary North American Tour 2026 at the Paramount both have excellent weather tonight. Pick up a Queens of the Stone Age t-shirt to complete your look, and snag Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still deciding.
Tonight stays partly cloudy with lows around 48°F—a perfect evening for grilling if you’re tailgating before the game. Set up a portable propane grill in your backyard or at a local park like Green Lake and whip up some burgers or tri-tip. For dinner, consider a simple pasta with fresh veggies or a quick stir-fry—both work great on a cool spring evening. You can order groceries on Amazon and have fresh ingredients delivered, or grab Amazon Fresh groceries for a quick pickup.
Looking ahead: Tuesday brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 59°F with even lighter winds. The pattern holds through mid-week before an upper-level ridge moves overhead Wednesday, potentially bringing more sun by Thursday. Temperatures will remain cool through the week—typical late April Seattle—so layer up for your commute and outdoor plans.
