Seattle weather: Few degrees cooler on Tuesday
A few clouds will be around to start Tuesday, but skies will give way to more afternoon sunshine.
SEATTLE - A severe geomagnetic storm last night led to a stunning display of the Northern Lights last night. While tonight's storm won't be as strong, there is another chance we could see the lights tonight in parts of our region.
