Seattle weather today is looking partly sunny with a high near 72°F—a genuinely beautiful spring day that’ll have you ditching the rain jacket, at least for now.
This morning starts mild around 48°F with just a whisper of north-northeast wind at 3 mph. By mid-morning, you’ll want to head outside: temperatures climb steadily through the afternoon with mostly clear skies across the Sound, from Queen Anne to the University District to Green Lake. The north wind stays light (2 to 7 mph), so it’s ideal conditions for a walk along the Waterfront or a paddle on Lake Union.
Perfect timing for the Mariners. If you’re catching the Rangers game at T-Mobile Park this afternoon, you’re in luck. Conditions are stellar for baseball—dry, mild, and minimal wind. Grab a Seattle Mariners fitted cap or jersey if you want to rep the team in style, and head down to SODO early for tailgating. No rain expected, and the 72-degree high means you can ditch the heavy layers.
Tonight, expect it to stay partly cloudy and cool (around 51°F), with that same gentle north wind. It’s a great evening to fire up the grill for dinner—maybe some grilled salmon or steak pairs perfectly with this crisp, clear night. The low precipitation chance (just 6%) means you won’t need to cover your patio furniture.
The week ahead: Monday brings mostly cloudy skies and another pleasant day in the low 70s—another solid day for outdoor plans. But here’s where the National Weather Service forecasters are watching things closely: rain moves in Tuesday and Wednesday as a low-pressure system pushes inland from the California coast. The NWS Area Forecast Discussion notes increasing chances for widespread rain, particularly south and west of the Puget Sound, with temperatures cooling to the upper 50s to low 60s. If you’re planning outdoor activities mid-week, move them to early Monday.
With pollen counts ramping up this time of year, if you’re heading to parks like Discovery Park or Green Lake, consider keeping an allergy relief nasal spray or pollen count face mask handy. An indoor air quality monitor can also help you track conditions at home, especially if you’re sensitive to spring allergens.
Dinner idea: Tonight’s perfect for a simple pasta primavera or stir-fry with fresh spring vegetables—light, seasonal, and quick on the grill or stovetop. Did you know you can order groceries on Amazon? Get everything you need for tonight’s dinner delivered straight to your door.
Looking ahead: Enjoy Sunday and Monday’s mild stretch. Rain and cooler temps return mid-week, but drying and warming conditions should return by next weekend.
