Seattle weather today is mostly sunny with a high near 75°F—a genuinely beautiful spring day that’ll have you ditching the rain jacket and actually enjoying the Puget Sound views.
The National Weather Service says morning stratus will gradually push inland early this morning, but don’t worry: it’ll scatter and retreat back toward the coast by late morning or early afternoon. That means if you’re heading downtown to Pike Place Market or over to Capitol Hill, you’ll have mostly clear skies by midday. Southwest winds around 6 mph will keep things calm and pleasant—perfect conditions for a walk along the waterfront or through Green Lake.
If you’re planning to catch the Seattle Mariners vs. Atlanta Braves on Wednesday at T-Mobile Park, Wednesday’s forecast is equally stellar: mostly sunny with highs near 71°F and light winds. Bring a light layer for the evening, but you won’t need much. Consider grabbing a Seattle Mariners jersey or Seattle Mariners fitted cap before heading to the stadium, and Get tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub while they’re available. Tailgating conditions will be excellent—dry, mild, and perfect for grilling before first pitch.
Tonight will cool to around 53°F under partly cloudy skies, so if you’re heading out to one of our local concerts or shows—like Neil deGrasse Tyson at the Paramount Theatre on Wednesday—bring a light jacket. If you’re interested in his talk, grab a Neil deGrasse Tyson t-shirt and Get tickets on SeatGeek to secure your spot.
The National Weather Service notes that onshore flow will continue throughout the week, bringing rounds of morning stratus through Wednesday and Thursday. That minor heat risk mentioned for the interior will gradually ease, but interior areas will still see above-normal temperatures. The real change arrives Friday into Saturday when a dissipating frontal system moves in with a chance of showers—so enjoy this dry stretch while it lasts.
For those dealing with spring allergies—and let’s be honest, May in Seattle means pollen season—consider keeping allergy relief nasal spray or Claritin non-drowsy allergy on hand. A pollen count face mask can also help if you’re sensitive, especially during your morning walks when pollen counts peak.
Tonight’s a perfect evening to fire up the grill or enjoy a light dinner on the patio. A fresh pasta with seasonal vegetables or a simple stir-fry pairs beautifully with this mild weather. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Wednesday stays mostly sunny with highs near 71°F. Thursday will see more morning cloud cover lingering longer due to stronger onshore flow, but afternoon highs still reach the upper 60s to low 70s. Friday into Saturday, that frontal system brings our next rain chance—so soak up the sunshine while you’ve got it.
