Seattle weather today brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 59°F, with isolated pockets of light drizzle possible throughout the day as onshore flow continues to keep things cool and damp across the Puget Sound region.
It’s a typical spring day for us—nothing dramatic, but definitely not a “leave the umbrella at home” kind of morning. The National Weather Service notes that while today stays cloudy with just a 12% chance of precipitation, you’ll want to keep a light jacket handy as you head downtown or over to the Paramount Theatre for tonight’s Helloween: 40th Anniversary North American Tour 2026. If you’re catching that show, expect cool conditions when you leave around 10 PM, with temps dropping to the mid-40s overnight.
Here’s the good news: this is the last of the gray stuff for a few days. High pressure builds in Wednesday, and we’re looking at a genuine sunshine day with temps climbing to 65°F—perfect for a walk through Discovery Park or along the waterfront near Pike Place Market. Thursday looks even better, with forecasters hinting at low 70s possible as the high pressure system settles in. If you’ve been itching to get outside, Wednesday and Thursday are your window.
For anyone heading to Tacoma Rainiers vs. Las Vegas Aviators on Wednesday night at Cheney Stadium, you’re in luck—mostly clear skies, temps around 48°F, and light northerly winds make for ideal baseball weather. Grab your Official team gear on Fanatics and settle in for a great evening of minor-league ball.
The same goes for the Seattle Storm preseason game against Portland Fire on Wednesday at Climate Pledge Arena—indoor comfort with perfect spring conditions outside if you want to grab dinner beforehand in the Capitol Hill or Belltown neighborhoods.
Allergy season is ramping up with spring in full swing, so if you’re sensitive to pollen, consider grabbing an allergy relief nasal spray and a pollen count face mask before heading out. A HEPA air purifier at home can also help you breathe easier overnight when pollen counts peak.
For dinner tonight, stick with something warm and comforting—a hearty pasta with fresh vegetables or a stir-fry works perfectly for cool, cloudy weather like this. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered, including fresh produce and pasta sauce, so you’re set without braving the drizzle. Look for a live herb plant collection to keep fresh basil and oregano on hand for weeknight cooking.
Looking ahead: Friday brings a brief return of clouds and onshore flow as a dry front moves through, but by the weekend, we’re warming nicely toward the low 80s with plenty of sunshine. That’s when you’ll want your sunscreen and sunglasses ready!
Stay dry out there, neighbors.
