Are you ready for Jorts weather? Did you see the weather buzz online or on your app? Did you look outside this morning and say YA RIGHT? Don’t worry! The clouds, the spotty drizzle, and the cool weather will only be for today. We are absolutely on track for some more sun tomorrow and then warm to even hot weather this weekend. Instead of a high of 57° today, we could be near 80 by Sunday & Monday (May 3rd and 4th).
Believe it or not, it’s not unusual to get to 80° this time of year:
- The average first 80° or higher day in Seattle is May 20th.
- The earliest we’ve ever hit 80° or higher is April 1st, 1987.
- The latest we’ve ever had 80° or higher was July 21st, 1980.
Wednesday will be a transition day with morning clouds and then afternoon sun and much warmer high temps. Seattle’s average high temperature is 62 to 63 degrees for the last few days of April, so it’ll be just a little warmer than average into Wednesday in the upper-60s.
A weak system will move through during the day on Thursday, but it looks dry. That means we’ll just see some increasing clouds, which will linger into Friday, along with some cooler temps…
