Weather in Seward
Don’t constantly check Sewards forecast, you’ll be disappointed. Use Wunderground app and set the site to downtown Seward. It still might predict precip for the next week but what you really need to look at is *how much*. Because if it says it’s going to rain 0.1” that’s almost nothing. That means it’s going to sprinkle somewhere at some point that day. We have lots of beautiful, cool summer days where one cloud moves through and sprinkles a little. They call that a rainy day. Hardly worth canceling your hiking plans. Now if it’s 0.75”+of rain, still don’t cancel plans just bring a rain jacket
