The rain showers in some spots in Western Washington will be slowly drying up this evening, though an isolated rain shower could continue into tonight across the far north and in the mountains.
By morning, expect some areas of fog mainly in the South Sound and south of Puget Sound, though there could be some reduced visibilities elsewhere in Western Washington to start Tuesday. Morning lows will be mild — in the 40s.
Don’t expect much sunshine on Tuesday and where fog forms, it could well hang on for a good part of the day Tuesday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 50s.
For Wednesday through Friday, patchy morning fog will be likely but we’ll get more sunshine. Highs on Wednesday could touch 60 in Seattle with upper 50s for highs Thursday and Friday.
The weather pattern looks likely to flip to a more active one starting over the weekend with the first in a series of fronts moving in late Saturday or Sunday with widespread rainfall. While snow levels in the mountains are likely to be 4,000-5,000 feet over the weekend, there are signs of colder days with better chances for mountain snowfall next week. Hopefully we will be able to get some new snow in the mountains ahead of Valentine’s Day!
