I'm glad it's not going to be hot.
Mid- to upper-sixties, light drizzle, grey. Yup, Seattle.
Anyways, here's what the local weather report says:
You'll get a little bit of everything weather-wise on Thursday and Friday. Clouds? Absolutely. Showers? There is a good rain chance on both days, but it will come in waves. You'll have showers for a few hours... but then it'll dry out for a while. Sunshine? Yep, you'll even get a little bit of that, too. Expect mainly cloudy skies -- a few peeks of sun -- and highs around 70 to end the week.
The weekend will remain unsettled as the upper-level low hangs out nearby. Saturday and Sunday will feature mainly cloudy skies, highs in the mid 60s, and a decent shower chance. The "driest" day of the Labor Day holiday weekend will be Monday. That doesn't mean it'll be dry; rather, Monday will merely have the smallest rain chance.
Oh, and the entire block in front of the Convention Center is covered, and you'll find most sidewalks have cover next to buildings.
Hmm..
Well a true Seattleite would never use an umbrella, if you want to blend in and get the true experience.
You'd be fine with a light rain jacket or hoodie that would stuff in the bottom of your bag when you go inside. So many of the buildings downtown have awnings that if you're going a few blocks you won't really get wet. As mentioned before, we get off and on drizzle, not constant serious downpours as made famous by that one movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Hours of clouds will go by before the drizzle returns especially in downtown where we're frequently protected by the Olympic Mountain rain shadow.
The only time I use an umbrella is waiting for the bus to work since I'm typically dressed up and my hair is long so if it gets too damp it looks weird and takes hours to dry.
Plus if you get really savvy with the downtown bus tunnel, you never have to go outside. Westlake Center, Nordstrom, and Macy's are all connected underground. Very useful when it's windy, rainy and dark in December.
If you do think you'd prefer an umbrella be sure to bring one. They cost a fortune at the nearby drugstores.
Umbrella's are for NOOBs.
Tomorrow may be a different day completely, however.

I'm going to bring my umbrella with me, because I'm a fucking New Yorker.

It's true. That's why we always panic when it rains.

I love rain and overcast and wind but I hate flying into an airport that's currently under those conditions.

Then be happy and sad cause right now it is pouring and last checked, it is gonna be like that for the weekend.
BTW, there's actually been thunder this morning - that's rare for us Seattle folk. We don't get many actual thunder showers...
Not too much of a problem here; Sea-Tac Airport was built with the local weather in mind, and they recently opened another runway exclusively to handle additional landings in poor visibility. The forecast doesn't show anything severe enough to slow down flight operations.
Airlines that frequent SEA are quite used to it. I have better landings here in rain and wind than I do on business trips in Sacramento in sunshine. My cousin told me Alaska Airlines is even rated to fly in zero-visibility because of some fancy new technology their fleet has. Those guys that fly up to AK are real good.
Very true. As is a little rain not being a problem for landing at SEA.
So True, Unless your in a suit, but then you look like a guy here on work.
