Seattle is heading into a stormy Saturday with showers and thunderstorms likely through the afternoon and a high near 59°F — check the Seattle weather forecast and plan for a wet one.
Today’s Setup
A low-pressure system is moving directly over western Washington today, according to the National Weather Service. Showers are likely through the morning, with thunderstorm chances climbing between 11 AM and 1 PM PT. The NWS says the best storm odds are concentrated around Puget Sound and the south Sound corridor, with any storms capable of lightning, gusty winds, and brief heavy rain. Temps peak near 59°F before easing to around 57°F by mid-afternoon. The thunder threat should taper off by 9 PM PT, giving way to mostly cloudy skies and a low near 48°F overnight.
Outdoor Events: Know Before You Go
With an 80% rain chance, today’s outdoor shows are in for a soaking. Bob Dylan takes the stage tonight at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, and RÜFÜS DU SOL headlines the Gorge Amphitheatre — two stunning venues with no roof between you and the sky. Both are still worth attending; just go ready. Bring waterproof hiking boots and a compact travel umbrella, and layer up for the evening cool.
Looking ahead, The Human League with Soft Cell & Alison Moyet plays Marymoor Live in Redmond on Monday, June 8. The NWS expects a cool, unsettled pattern through mid-week, so monitor the forecast. Find tickets on StubHub while you can.
The Seattle Storm take on the Los Angeles Sparks at Climate Pledge Arena on Wednesday, June 10 — fully indoors and rain-proof. Show up in Official team gear on Fanatics.
What to Wear or Bring
Today’s rain kit: packable rain jacket, waterproof hiking boots, compact travel umbrella. If you’re at an outdoor show all evening and want to keep devices charged through the storm, the DARAN 288Wh Power Station is just $90 for Prime Members right now — solid backup for a long night in the elements. Browse more outdoor gear deals if you’re stocking up for the season.
Rainy Day Dinner
A day like this calls for something slow and warm. Load up a programmable slow cooker in the morning with beef stew or chili, and it’ll be ready when you come in from the cold. Or break out an enameled cast iron Dutch oven for a thick pot of soup that warms the whole house. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next Few Days
Sunday offers real relief — mostly cloudy with a high near 64°F and just an 11% rain chance. A great day to get outside. The Tacoma Rainiers host the Albuquerque Isotopes at Cheney Stadium on Tuesday, June 9, with the pattern staying cool but drier. America: The Happy Trails Tour plays Paramount Theatre on Thursday, June 11 indoors — no weather worries there. The National Weather Service expects a warming and drying trend to take hold late next week. Hang tight, Seattle.
