The Father’s Day weekend looks to be nice with morning clouds Saturday turning to sunshine later in the day with highs in the 60s to low 70s. For Sunday, Father’s Day, we’ll be a bit warmer with my forecast high at 73 in Seattle — a few degrees above average with more sunshine. For the FIFA Club World Cup match at Lumen Field Sunday night, we can expect partly sunny skies and temperatures at first kick around 70.
More clouds work in early next week with a upper level disturbance bringing in some light rain showers Tuesday night into Wednesday. Exact timing and just how much rain might fall is still quite uncertain, though it’s the first real shot at rain we’ve had all month. This will be the first time since 2009 that no measurable rainfall will have fallen at Sea-Tac Airport in the first half of June, and the longest dry stretch since the first half of last August.
There could be continued chances for rainfall late next week. No heat waves in sight, which is good news for the fire danger, though we really need a good soaking across the Northwest. Climatology (what should happen at this point on the calendar) point to that being rather unlikely at this point.
The summer solstice is next Friday, June 20 at 7:41 p.m.
