Light showers Friday, mountain mixed rain/snow

We start the new year with mostly cloudy skies and a few showers into the evening. The Cascade passes will see a mix of rain and snow into the morning hours with the potential for freezing rain overnight. Looking ahead to the weekend, more showers with milder temperatures. We will also see potential coastal flooding issues due to higher than usual astronomical tides.
