Seattle weather: Tuesday to start off chilly

Tuesday will start off chilly, but with clear skies we will see plenty of sunshine. Highs in the mid 50s to low 60s.

SEATTLE - Cool mornings and sunny skies are in the forecast for Seattle on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A weak ridge of high pressure over the Pacific Northwest will bring dry and sunny conditions to Western Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday’s highs will be slightly warmer than Monday’s, back to 60 degrees.

After a very cold start, we'll see sunny skies Tuesday afternoon in Western Washington. (FOX 13 Seattle)

By the numbers:

Clear skies and light wind overnight will send temperatures plummeting into the 20s and 30s for much of the Puget Sound area on Wednesday morning. This will likely be the coldest morning of the season so far. Wednesday afternoon, temperatures will rebound into the low to mid 60s.

Onshore flow will bring in more clouds on Thursday afternoon and evening. Thursday night into Friday, light showers will impact the area.

A much wetter system will hit Western Washington Saturday evening into Sunday, with gusty winds, lowland rain, and mountain snow.

Sunshine returns through Wednesday, but a wet weekend looms in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)

When does ‘The Big Dark’ begin in Seattle?

What's next:

"The Big Dark" is almost here. The last 6:00 p.m. sunset in Seattle is in less than two weeks. The sun will set before 5:00 p.m. on November 2 as we turn our clocks back an hour when Daylight Saving Time ends.

We are quickly losing daylight in late-October with the "Big Dark" looming. (FOX 13 Seattle)
