The Brief

    • Seattle has gone 11 straight days without measurable rain, with the dry streak possibly tying a January record this weekend.
    • Cold mornings with freezing fog and black ice are expected, as overnight temperatures drop into the upper 20s.
    • Dry, sunny weather continues through the weekend, with only a slight chance of rain returning midweek.

SEATTLE - Heading into Saturday, we are still with zero rain in Seattle and Friday marked the eleventh day of no measurable rain at Sea-Tac Airport. As more than 240 million Americans brace for impacts from brutal winter weather this weekend, the dry spell in the Seattle area will continue until possibly Wednesday...if that. This would mean Sea-Tac would tie the all-time record for the longest dry stretch in January on record.

What's next:

It will be a chilly start to Saturday, and we're looking ahead to beautiful sunshine this afternoon.

Temperatures Saturday will be chilly with highs reaching the mid to low 40s. This weekend will be dry, sunny and quiet.

Seattle will be treated to likely dry weather this Sunday for the all-important game against the Rams.

Seattle will be treated to likely dry weather this Sunday for the all-important game against the Rams.

There's some indication that light, isolated showers could return on Wednesday or Thursday of next week, but this bears watching. Our mountains need more snow, but over the next two weeks — it seems Mother Nature isn't helping much. Even when showers are back by Wednesday, snow levels currently look to hover at 4,500 feet in elevation — which is above the height of Snoqualmie Pass.

Damp and cloudier weather will develop in Seattle next workweek.
