Surprised RU#s isn't on it yet, but right now looking like perfect weather for Seattle on September 3rd. Partly cloudy and low 70s. Ideal football weather...so hope it comes to fruition.
No weather forecast yet for UW game?

I've never posted a forecast more than 7 days in advance, because they're generally very inaccurate beyond that point. Seattle's forecast for 9/3 over the past several days has been all over the place, which is not surprising (and has a chance of showers in today's forecast for 9/3). I used to start weather threads 5 days out, but have moved to 7 days out mostly in the hopes of avoiding having a bunch of weather threads, which some find annoying during football season (I don't care, but some do).
This far out it's best to go with climatological averages: 9/3 averages 74/56F for a high and low and September is one of the driest months, normally, with only 1.3" of rain, so predicting mild and dry conditions is a decent bet. However the next 6-10 days do look to be wetter than normal, as per the CPC (see link) and the NWS forecast for the next 7 days indicates showers/rain are possible for days 4-7.

I wonder if rain would help or hurt us vs UW. They run a pro set offense which might help them in bad weather.
So far what's ok? Every service I've looked at has 20-30% chance of a light shower or two for Saturday vs. the original post in the thread implying no chance of rain. It may well end up being dry (more likely than not it will be dry), but my point of not trusting 9-10 day forecasts remains valid.
