Freezing cold weekend weather in western Washington
SEATTLE - With the last of the rain fizzling out on Thursday, things are looking to be dry and freezing cold in western Washington through the weekend and beyond.
The forecast, overall, is simple today and into the weekend. It'll be calm, but cold. The beginning of next work week is when we expect chilly overnight temperatures. Otherwise, look forward to some sunshine in the forecast.

Fog and freezing temperatures mean treacherous driving
Big picture view:
We've been dealing with areas of fog this morning, affecting visibility levels for some spots, including Seattle. Much of this will burn off into the afternoon.
This brings concern for freezing fog with the temperatures so close to the freezing line.
This leaves a thin layer of ice over our roads which, especially earlier in the morning, can make driving conditions dangerous.

The region has currently been in a bit of a dry spell — we're not forecasting much precipitation in the forecast for the next week.
By the numbers:
MLK Jr. Day will cool, as well, with temperatures in the upper 30s.

Temperatures will hover in the low 40s and upper 30s. What we're paying close attention to are the overnight low temperatures heading into the work week.
Next week, temperatures will fall into the 20s.

The National Weather Service has no weather watches or warnings currently in effect, but they may issue them in the next few days given the freezing conditions.
