After enjoying delightful temperatures in the 70s last Friday, Seattle is preparing for a shift in weather for Mother’s Day weekend, bringing cooler, cloudier conditions along with the potential for light rain.
Saturday is set to see high temperatures in the low to mid-60s under mostly cloudy skies, with a slight chance of isolated light showers, though many areas are expected to remain dry.
For Mother’s Day, Sunday, there is a slightly increased likelihood of showers, but the rain is expected to be brief and not widespread. Cloudy conditions will persist with temperatures reaching the low 60s. Anyone celebrating outdoors should consider having an indoor plan as a precaution, as the forecast indicates potential for fleeting sunbreaks and even the possibility of a few lightning strikes.
Looking ahead to Monday, the weather may offer some surprises with a mix of sunbreaks, showers, and even the chance of thunderstorms or small hail. The cloudy weather is likely to continue throughout the week, with highs consistently in the 60s and periodic showers.
Despite the cooler forecast, the weekend still holds opportunities to celebrate the mothers and mother figures in our lives. Enjoy this time together while making contingency plans for the weather!
Meteorologist Abby Acone encourages everyone to embrace the forecast and ensure their plans account for the rain.
