Currently in Seattle — August 30, 2024: Your weekend of sunshine awaits

The weather, currently.

We’ll be signing off to summer in style: wearing sunglasses and shorts. 😎

Friday will warm up to a high of 78. With dry, clear skies and sunshine in the mix, that will bump up to 80 over the weekend, before cooling off slightly with partial clouds and a high of 75 on Labor Day.

If you are headed into the mountains or heading east, expect higher temperatures (86 at Snoqualmie Pass on Saturday). And you can revel in the warm weather knowing that the longer-range forecast, for now at least, has us moving into a colder and wetter fall and winter than average.

Soak it up as you say goodbye to summer.
