Sunny weekend in Seattle: time for a picnic

After a long run of rains typical of a Seattle winter, residents can finally enjoy a second weekend in a row of clear skies and warmth. Forecaster Logan Howard of the National Weather Service says temperatures will hold around 16°C (60°F) from Friday through Sunday, getting a bit warmer each day. No precipitation is expected, clouds will clear, and only a light breeze will be noticeable Friday daytime before dying down completely by the weekend.

That said, Saturday night could be chilly: city thermometers will drop to about 4°C (40°F), and rural areas could see frosts down to 1–2°C. Conditions will soften by Sunday night, however. Locals are already planning outdoor outings: sunbathing, walking in parks, smelling the flowers and visiting farmers markets. As Seattleites say, days like these make the rainy winter worth enduring — the sun here feels especially sweet.
