Seattle, WA – Heavy rain is set to drench Seattle this weekend, bringing potential flooding and hazardous road conditions. Residents should prepare for wet and windy weather, especially on Saturday and Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected to intensify Saturday afternoon, with precipitation chances reaching 100% by Sunday. Southeast winds between 3 and 7 mph will accompany the rain, making for slick roads and possible ponding on major routes, including I-5 and Highway 99.

Saturday’s high will be 43°F, with rain continuing overnight into Sunday. Sunday will remain wet, with temperatures near 47°F and additional rainfall expected through the night. The trend continues into Monday, with a chance of rain persisting.

Motorists should drive cautiously, watching for pooling water and reduced visibility. Those in flood-prone areas should monitor alerts and prepare accordingly.

Looking ahead, rain is likely to taper off slightly by midweek, but temperatures will stay in the 40s. More showers are possible, keeping the region damp.

Stay updated with local forecasts and prepare for a soggy weekend. If traveling, allow extra time and stay aware of changing road conditions.
