Seattle weather: Light showers Friday, mixed rain/snow in mountains

FOX 13's Nikki Torres says the wet weather is returning to western Washington this weekend.

SEATTLE - 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.
