Currently in Seattle — September 7, 2023: Sunshine and a perfect fall day

The weather, currently.

Thursday is going to be glorious, Seattle. It’ll be cool and in the high 50’s for morning commutes. But we’re looking at a full-on day of sunshine with a high of 70.

Shorts and sweater weather! Hot coffee and cool shades weather! Seriously, plan your walking meetings, after-school beach picnics, happy hours or hikes right now. (The weather at Snoqualmie Pass looks glorious, too).

We’re in a season on a cusp, and this sunshine is something to be savored. Stuck inside all day? You’ll get another chance to soak it in on Friday.
