Redmond, Washington. Redmond residents should plan for a gray, damp Thursday, and for unsettled winter weather to continue on the Eastside on January 29, 2026.
Forecasts call for considerable cloud cover throughout the day, with occasional rain showers moving through the area from morning into the evening.
While no major storms are expected, the persistent moisture and overcast skies will make for a classic Pacific Northwest winter day.
The sun is scheduled to rise at approximately 7:38 a.m., though clouds are likely to limit visibility of the sunrise.
Daytime temperatures are expected to top out around 52 degrees, keeping conditions cool but not overly cold for late January.
Light southeast winds, generally between 5 and 10 miles per hour, will accompany the system, adding a slight chill at times but remaining calm enough to avoid any wind-related issues.
The chance of rain sits near 80 percent while the humidity level will remain relatively high during the day, hovering around 88 percent.
With thick cloud cover in place, the UV index will stay very low, at just 1 out of 11, offering little chance for sunshine breaks.
The sun will set at 5:05 p.m., reinforcing the short winter daylight hours.
As evening approaches, temperatures will gradually dip into the mid-40s, with an overnight low near 45 degrees.
Cloudy skies will persist into the night, with periods of rain most likely during the early evening hours.
Rain chances remain around 80 percent overnight, so wet conditions are expected to continue through the late hours and into early Friday morning.
Winds will ease further, becoming light and variable, generally out of the east-southeast at around 5 miles per hour or less.
Nighttime humidity will climb even higher, approaching 94 percent, which may contribute to misty conditions and reduced visibility in some areas.
The UV index will drop to zero overnight, as expected, under the thick cloud cover.
Skywatchers may note the presence of a waxing gibbous moon, which is set to rise at approximately 1:04 p.m. and set around 5:33 a.m.
While cloud cover may limit visibility of the moon for much of the night, brief breaks in the clouds could offer occasional glimpses.
Overall, Thursday’s weather in Redmond will be typical of late January, marked by cool temperatures, high humidity, and frequent rain showers.
