…it’s the SUN! Did you notice its light lingering past 5 p.m. yesterday here in Seattle? It seems like a miracle.

Right now, it’s cool (37 degreesโ€”you can’t call that cold or our dear friends of Slog in Denver, Canada, etc. will [somewhat understandably] freak out) with a few pretty wisps of clouds. Here’s the weekend forecast:

Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 44. South wind at 6 mph becoming north.

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 34. North wind between 14 and 17 mph.

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 43. North wind around 14 mph.

Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 32. North wind between 4 and 7 mph becoming calm.

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers after 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 45. South southwest wind between 5 and 7 mph.

Sunday Night: A 30 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38.

The sun sets at 5:37 p.m. today. It won’t be long before it’s light out until 10 p.m. and we’re swimming in Lake Washington at midnight.

  1. I’m heading to Gasworks Park to enjoy the sun!

    @3 what about werewolves – they director of Twilight is doing a Red Riding Hood movie about those …

  2. It’s cold. It’s just not freezing.

    Also, what’s this sun you’re talking about? There seems to be an orb of concentrated overcast clouds amid this strange blue haze but it doesn’t seem familiar.

  3. You’re conveniently leaving out the four months of solid rain we always get between this little February break (which happens every year) and the actual good weather to come (which arrives on July 5th).

  4. Hey! Have you heard that there’s a chance the Northern Lights may also be visible in Seattle in the next few days?

    The sun had a big solar flare, and now our atmosphere is being disturbed: http://www.tbd.com/blogs/weather/2011/02…

    Short-term aurora prediction can be found here: http://www.gedds.alaska.edu/AuroraForeca… (if it reaches a Kp of 5, it will be visible low in the sky in Seattle). The lower green line is where the aurora will be on the horizon.
