| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 830pm PDT Fri Oct 23 2026 No changes made in this evening's update. The previous discussion remains below along with an updated aviation section: Synopsis Mostly clear conditions are present this afternoon outside of some scattered clouds throughout Puget Sound. An area of low pressure will be dropping south from the British Columbia coast late Saturday night into Sunday for a round of light rain. Drier conditions resume by the middle of next week as the low offshore progresses inland and east. Short Term - Tonight Through Sunday Night Mostly clear skies this afternoon and evening will give way to mostly cloudy skies overnight. With low pressure and cooler temperatures approaching, overnight lows will dip into the mid 30s in the Cascades and adjacent foothills with low 40s throughout Puget Sound. A frontal system dropping south from B.C will introduce rain along the coast tomorrow afternoon, spreading inland overnight into Sunday morning. The bulk of the rain will be focused along the Olympic Peninsula and generally west of the Cascades. Up to three quarters of an inch of rain is expected along the coast and windward slopes of the Olympics with only a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch in the Puget Sound region. Showers will taper off late Sunday morning, leaving cloudy skies and highs in the mid to upper 50s. Long Term - Monday Through Friday The pattern is becoming more consolidated in the models for early next week. It is suggestive of broad troughing remaining offshore through the middle of the week, which will keep cooler and cloudier conditions in the forecast. A weak impulse moving through will generate some slight chance Probability of Precipitation for the area Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night. Significant rain is not expected beyond another few hundredths of an inch. Colder overnight lows will accompany this system and bring temperatures overnight back down the upper 30s and low 40s. Wednesday through Friday look to be more on the drier side as the low and associated weak front move inland, leaving the area in an onshore flow regime. Afternoon highs will consistently be in the mid to upper 50s through the week. The 8-14 day hazards outlook still suggests a 20-40% chance of heavier rain, stronger winds and possibly mountain snow in the October 31 to November 6 timeframe. Stay tuned to the forecast as more details on emerge on a possibly more active pattern. 21 Marine Northwesterly winds and seas will continue to ease into the evening, with SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions winding down over the outer coastal waters. A more benign pattern will settle in over area waters into Saturday, with waves subsiding to around 4 to 6 feet. By Sunday, a low pressure system will move southward over the region and bring a frontal system over the waters. Winds and seas look to potentially ramp up again with this system, with southeasterly SCA (Small Craft Advisory) winds possible and waves once again encroaching 10 to 12 feet across the outer coastal waters Sunday. Unsettled conditions are expected to continue into next week, with additional systems expected to cross area waters. Seas look to remain around 4 to 7 feet with fairly benign winds, though conditions next week may change if models continue to lean towards bringing in continued weather systems. 15 NOAA Seattle WA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories WA...None.
