Seattle weather this Sunday brings a welcome break from the clouds — partly sunny skies and a high near 64°F are on tap, so get outside while the window is still open.
Today’s Setup
A weak upper ridge is holding frontal systems at bay just long enough to give the Puget Sound lowlands a dry Sunday. Precipitation odds are essentially zero (2%) through tonight, with south-southwest winds staying light around 8 mph. Interior lowland spots — from Belltown to Bellevue — should reach the lower 60s this afternoon. Not sunscreen weather, but genuinely pleasant by early-June Pacific Northwest standards. Green Lake, Discovery Park, and the Burke-Gilman Trail are all calling your name.
Best Window To Be Outside
All of Sunday is yours, start to finish. Morning is ideal for yard chores — the National Weather Service confirms dry conditions through the day, so go ahead and run the cordless lawn mower before the wet week sets in. In the afternoon, set up a corn hole game set in the backyard or roll out an outdoor yoga mat at Cal Anderson Park. The ridge holds through Sunday evening, so evening plans are safe too.
Rain Returns Monday
Don’t get comfortable. The ridge breaks down Sunday night, and a frontal system arrives with purpose Monday afternoon — 80% precipitation odds by noon, with no meaningful break expected through Tuesday. NWS forecasters note this is a prolonged soggy stretch. Tuesday carries a slim thunder chance, but forecasters put that probability below 20%, so it’s a watch-not-worry situation. Tuck a pair of rain boot shoe covers into your work bag for the Monday commute.
Events This Weekend
Tonight is a big one: Bob Dylan plays the outdoor stage at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville — the partly cloudy evening should cooperate beautifully. Also tonight: Tab Benoit: Soul of the Swamp Tour at the Neptune Theatre. Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still on the fence.
Monday night, The Human League with Very Special Guests Soft Cell & Alison Moyet brings a legendary synth-pop lineup to Marymoor Live — rain is essentially guaranteed by showtime, so layer up and get tickets on SeatGeek early.
The Tacoma Rainiers host the Albuquerque Isotopes at Cheney Stadium on Tuesday, June 9. Rain is likely for first pitch, so tailgating will be a soggy affair. Grab your Official team gear on Fanatics and check conditions before heading down I-5.
Tonight’s Dinner
Sunday’s mild 64°F is tailor-made for a low-key backyard grill session. A Father’s Day grilling set has everything you need for a solid cook — and check out our guide on how to smoke tri-tip like brisket for a crowd-pleasing, budget-friendly technique that works perfectly on a Sunday like this. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered before dinner.
Next Few Days
Monday and Tuesday bring clouds and steady rain with highs in the low 60s. The silver lining: the National Weather Service is forecasting a significant pattern shift toward dry and considerably warmer conditions late next week as strong high pressure builds in over the region. Keep an eye on the Seattle weather forecast for updates as that warmer stretch takes shape.
