Seattle weather: warm and sunny start to the work week
FOX 13 meteorologist Ilona McCauley has your seven-day forecast.
Seattle - After a beautiful weekend, the high pressure ridge will slide a little more inland, allowing for more high clouds. Skies will remain dry with just a slight chance of a very weak convergence zone to bring a stray shower late Monday, early Tuesday north of Seattle.
