For those who aren't housed or don’t have access to adequate heating, the temperatures in the days ahead will be dangerous. Local leaders have activated severe weather shelters due to the frigid temperatures.

A hard freeze is expected in Seattle through Tuesday morning. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Please make sure to dress in warm layers in the days ahead. Sunday and Monday will be the coldest mornings of the next several days. Early Sunday, temperatures will plunge to the mid to upper 20s for most.

Temperatures will plummet to the 20s around Western Washington on Sunday morning. (FOX 13 Seattle)
We can’t rule out hyper-localized freezing fog the next couple of mornings, but this would be the exception rather than the rule. Where this happens, icy spots would be a concern.

Below-normal temperatures continue on Sunday in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Highs this week will range below normal. The average high for today is 48. We’ll only land in the low 40s for much of this week.
