SEATTLE -
 

We started the day on a chilly note across Western Washington, with a Frost Advisory in effect early this morning for the Cascade valleys and foothills, including areas near Bellingham, the South Sound, Southwest Washington, and parts of the Olympic Peninsula. Temperatures dropped low enough to raise concerns about potential damage to sensitive plants, especially in sheltered valleys. Patches of freezing fog developed in parts of the South Sound and Southwest Interior.

Skies were forecast to clear quickly after sunrise, and conditions turned into a beautiful spring day. We saw mostly sunny skies with highs climbing into the low 60s across the region.

Looking ahead, tomorrow morning could bring about another round of frosty spots before highs boost to the mid 60s in Seattle.

From Wednesday through Friday, the forecast remains dry and increasingly warm. Expect mostly sunny skies with highs climbing into the mid 60s by Thursday and reaching around 70 degrees by Friday — well above our normal high of 58 degrees.

By the weekend, a shift in the pattern will bring cooler air back into the region. Highs will drop into the 50s Saturday and Sunday, and we’ll stay in the 50s through at least Monday and Tuesday, right around seasonal norms.

We’ll also see a return of some moisture. Scattered showers are expected this weekend, along with rain and melting snow at the mountain passes. By Tuesday, colder air may allow for a bit of light snow around 4,000 feet in elevation.
