Seattle weather: Wet Monday morning, drier in the afternoon

SEATTLE - After a false spring last week with highs in the 60s, the damp and dark weather returns to Seattle this week.

For today, you can plan on highs in the upper 40s to the low 50s. Gray skies linger. There will be on-and-off light showers today.
