Happy Thursday! Fog is back again this morning and it’s dense where we have it. Temps are in the upper-20s and lower-30s which means some freezing fog is possible again. Watch out for bridges, overpasses, on-ramps and off-ramps early on because they could be slick. Also watch for sidewalks when you head out. The fog will start to lift as we see increasing clouds later this morning and all day. There is a weak disturbance that will move over us later today, but it doesn’t have much energy. We also have a large ridge of high pressure over us, which usually promotes dry weather. The weak system, plus the ridge of high pressure combined will make it really hard for rain to make it to the ground today. However, we will more than likely see some showers at the coast and at least some sprinkles inland, especially areas west and south of Puget Sound. Seattle may see a few sprinkles, but should be mostly dry. Highs will be in the low-40s with mostly cloudy conditions.
Friday will have morning fog again and afternoon sunshine. The same rule applies with some possible freezing fog and slick spots early.
The weekend now looks very nice with areas of morning fog and frost and afternoon sunshine. There will be no weather impact for the Seahawks game, except for it being chilly with gametime temperatures in the mid-40s, with temperatures falling into the upper 30s.
Rain chances now don’t look to return to the area until Tuesday night or Wednesday. Tuesday will be the 14th straight day without rain in Seattle. The record for a January dry streak is 15 days back in 1963. We do forecast rain by next Wednesday along with some modest mountain snow.
