Seattle weather: partly cloudy and warmer day

FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone has your seven-day forecast.

SEATTLE - We're forecasting beautiful, mild weather this afternoon around western Washington: highs will reach the low to mid 60s for many. This will be followed by pockets of torrential rain in a few neighborhoods tonight.

Isolated thunderstorms can't be ruled out south of Seattle on Sunday evening.

Mostly cloudy skies are on the way for the region during the daytime. Between 4-7 p.m., rain will return to western Washington from the south. Scattered showers will trek northward throughout the rest of the evening. At times, the rain could be heavy. We can't rule out an isolated lightning strike or spots of small hail.

Temperatures will be above normal on Sunday afternoon in Seattle.

We're also monitoring some blustery weather for the Cascade gap communities today (take for example North Bend, Gold Bar and Enumclaw). There might be a gust to 40 mph, but winds should mostly stay in the 20-35 mph zone. Winds aren't strong enough to warrant any official wind alerts.

Tomorrow, on-and-off showers continue. On Monday, there's a small chance for spotty rumbles of thunder and small hail once again. Temperatures tomorrow cool to the mid 50s for highs.

Warmer-than-normal weather is forecast in Seattle on Sunday.

Stray showers are a possibility here-and-there through Thursday. A noticeable, notable warm-up could develop next Friday through the first weekend of April. Right now, it looks like highs could soar to at least the mid 60s on Saturday with even warmer temperatures potentially next Sunday. There's still time for next weekend's forecast to evolve and change, so stick with us!
