Seattle, WA – Back-to-back storm systems will slam the Seattle metro beginning late Friday, bringing a fall soaking and travel impacts across Puget Sound.
According to the National Weather Service in Seattle, a 100% chance of rain is expected Saturday, with precipitation continuing through Sunday. Totals could range from half to three-quarters of an inch, with the heaviest showers falling between Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning. Roads like I-5, SR-99, and SR-520 will be slick, with ponding possible in low-lying areas.
The region’s first true fall storm setup will bring a chill, too. Highs on Saturday will struggle to hit 57°F, and Sunday’s temps may stay stuck in the upper 50s. Drivers should reduce speed on wet pavement, and pedestrians are urged to avoid flooded walkways, especially in urban zones like Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, and Belltown…
