Seattle weather: Drier and warmer Saturday ahead

Seattle weather: Occasional rain, breezy pockets on tap for Friday

Rain and breezy conditions return to Seattle on Friday, with wet roads possibly affecting commutes.

SEATTLE - Temperatures will remain well above average for the next several days around the Puget Sound area with a nice Saturday ahead.

Friday night will bring a few scattered showers, but most areas will be mainly dry with overnight lows in the mid-40s.

Local perspective:

A Flood Warning remains in effect for the Skokomish River in Mason County through Saturday morning. Minor flooding is expected.

After a few quick-hitting Saturday morning showers, the rest of the day looks dry with increasing sunshine.

Showers are still likely on Sunday and Monday. Snow levels will drop to the 4,500 to 5,500 range, so the lower mountain passes should be just wet.

Snow levels will remain above the passes over the coming week in the Washington Cascades. (FOX 13 Seattle)

What's next:

Dry and downright warm January weather hits Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will be flirting with record highs next week.

Damp and breezy weather is in the forecast for Seattle on Friday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
