Seattle weather today is sunny and 65°F with light north-northeast winds around 1 to 8 mph—basically a gift after our recent wet stretch. This is the kind of day that makes you want to ditch your desk and head straight to Green Lake or Discovery Park.
High pressure is firmly in control, and our National Weather Service forecasters are calling this “much sunnier” compared to recent days. Expect virtually no rain (0% chance of precipitation) and plenty of blue sky from sunrise through sunset. Temperatures will climb steadily through the morning and peak in the mid-60s by early afternoon—light enough that you won’t overheat, but warm enough that a light jacket or fleece will do the trick.
If you’re heading to tonight’s Preseason: Seattle Storm vs. Portland Fire at Climate Pledge Arena, you’ll have beautiful conditions getting to and from the game. For tailgating before the Tacoma Rainiers vs. Las Vegas Aviators at Cheney Stadium, a portable propane grill will work perfectly in these calm winds. Pick up Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support.
Concert-goers have stellar weather too: Queens of the Stone Age: The Catacombs Tour at Paramount Theatre and Bush - The Land of Milk and Honey Tour at WAMU Theater both get ideal conditions. Grab Queens of the Stone Age t-shirt merch to commemorate the show, and Get tickets on SeatGeek if you’re still looking.
For outdoor enthusiasts, this is prime time to hit the trails around Mt. Rainier’s foothills or paddle on Puget Sound. An outdoor yoga mat is perfect for a sunset session at any Seattle park. Allergy season is ramping up with spring in full bloom, so consider an allergy relief nasal spray and a pollen count face mask if you’re sensitive to tree pollen—the dry conditions today will keep pollen counts moderate.
Tonight stays mostly clear with lows around 47°F, so if you’re planning an evening out in Capitol Hill or along the waterfront, bring a light layer. Wednesday night into Thursday, high pressure continues to build, pushing temperatures even higher—we’re looking at the low 70s Thursday and potentially the 80s by weekend. Thursday’s mostly sunny conditions will be nearly identical to today’s perfection.
For dinner tonight, take advantage of the weather and fire up a simple grilled pasta with fresh vegetables and herbs—something light that doesn’t require heating up the kitchen. You can order groceries on Amazon and have fresh produce and pasta delivered to your door.
Next few days: Thursday climbs to 71°F with mostly sunny skies. A weak front moves through late Thursday into Friday, bringing clouds and dropping temps slightly, but still pleasant. By Sunday, we’re tracking potential 80s with low humidity—fire danger will increase, so avoid any outdoor burning and keep sources of ignition clear of dry brush.
Enjoy this stellar day outside, Seattle. We’ve earned it.
