Seattle Today: Showers Early, Steady Rain After Dark, and a Waterfront Art Dedication

Weather: The National Weather Service gives Seattle a 50 percent chance of light rain before 4 p.m. under mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 57. Rain is all but certain after 8 p.m., with south winds gusting to 23 mph and a low around 50. Sunday brings more rain and a high near 55, so today is the better day for anything outdoors.

Ferries: No Seattle route alerts this morning. If you bike or walk to the Bainbridge ferry, the city of Bainbridge is rebuilding the Winslow Way and Olympic Drive intersection overnight, from about 7:30 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday night through Friday morning. Follow the detour signs; drivers in the ferry line should not be affected. Winter vehicle reservations, for Dec. 27 through March 20, are open now.

Buses: Route 65 is rerouted off Roosevelt Way NE between NE 42nd Street and NE Campus Parkway until 6 a.m. Monday. Metro lists no Link light rail disruptions this weekend.
