Seattle weather: Cool and wet first weekend of spring

Rounds of heavy lowland rain Friday night will transition into mountain snow in our passes. Traveling through the passes will be difficult through early Saturday morning. Some spots could see up to a foot of snow with this current storm. If you can delay travel over the passes until late Saturday morning, conditions will improve by then. Heads up for drivers over Stevens Pass, it will be closed at 4 a.m. on Saturday for avalanche control.

What’s next:

Overall, Saturday is forecast to be drier with pockets of sunshine later in the afternoon. Afternoon highs will still be slightly below normal in the upper 40s and low 50s.

Saturday afternoon's forecast around Western Washington.

Drier times ahead for Saturday. Better travel conditions over the passes.

The weekend will end on a wet and breezy note. Look for rain to increase along the coast on Sunday morning, then move into the interior lowlands by late morning and through the rest of the day. Snow levels will start lower around 2500′ but will quickly rise to near 6000′ later in the day. Some rivers will rise as a result of the heavy rain and runoff.

A soggy and breezy end to this upcoming weekend.

Rainfall ramps up once again on Sunday, leading to a wet and breezy day to end our weekend.

A few lingering showers remain on Monday, but Tuesday will be by far the nicest day this week with near record warmth. Unfortunately, it’s short-lived with some cool wet weather returning by the end of the week.

Gray and cloudy weather persists in Seattle into this upcoming weekend.

We’re forecasting cool, cloudy and wet weather at times this weekend in Seattle.

WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Warm day, but far below record

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.

Mets place former Seattle Mariners 2B/DH Jorge Polanco on IL

Mets place former Seattle Mariners 2B/DH Jorge Polanco on IL

CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.

Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.

“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.

“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”

Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.

“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”

Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.

Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.

But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
