Seattle weather: Cool and dry weather stretch ahead

The fog was very stubborn around much of western Washington today. Visibilities into the evening were still well below a mile in many spots. Use caution if driving around town this evening. The low clouds kept afternoon temperatures very cool, with some locations only warming into the upper 30s to low 40s. We saw a lot more sunshine along the coast and our islands where highs reached the 50s.
