Seattle weather: Cool blast of air for this weekend

Western Washington is gearing up for some of the coolest air of the season heading into this weekend. A weak cold front will drop our overnight lows into the lower 30s beginning tonight. Chilly conditions will remain into much of next week. It's time to remember to protect your pipes, plants, pets and people.

Cool night ahead with lows dropping into the low 30s.

A weak cold front moved through earlier Thursday, keeping cold air in place around Western Washington. 

As the rain wraps up and the skies clear out, fog will develop overnight. With many spots dipping into near freezing, the possibility of freezing fog along with icy spots will be around for Friday morning's commute.

January has gotten off to a cool start already with more cold air on the way. A ridge of high pressure will keep much of our area in a cool, dry, northwesterly flow through at least the end of next week.
