Seattle weather: 5 PM sunsets return to western WA

Seattle weather: Frosty start on Monday morning

 Monday morning will start out frosty once again as temperatures will be near freezing once again. 

SEATTLE - Western Washington continues to slowly climb its way out of the "Big Dark." Tonight will mark the first 5 p.m. sunset of this season! With a few clouds out there, it should make for a picturesque sunset. In just three weeks' time, sunset times will be near 5:30 p.m.

We are slowly climbing out of the big dark and enjoying our 5pm sunsets.

Overnight lows won't be quite as frosty tonight as a few clouds will blanket the area shielding us from the cold temperatures. Many will stay above freezing, with just a few pockets dipping below.

An increase in clouds later tonight will help moderate our morning lows. 

Big picture view:

The ridge of high pressure weakened just enough to allow a disturbance to pass north of us in British Columbia, pushing in a few clouds for tonight. However, skies stay dry as no rain is expected.

A weak disturbance to our north increases clouds overnight, but still dry skies.  (FOX13 Seattle)

After two weeks with no rainfall in our region, rain finally returns to the forecast Wednesday morning in Seattle.
