Seattle weather: dry and sunny weekend

FOX 13 meteorologist Abby Acone has your seven day forecast.

Sunday and Monday: Bright skies after a frigid start

SEATTLE - We forecasted highs in the mid to upper 50s on Sunday after a very frigid start to the morning. Temperatures dipped into the 20s and 30s early, and we were watching isolated pockets of fog. That fog stayed rather spotty, and once the sun came up, skies turned beautifully bright.

By the afternoon, abundant sunshine helped us rebound quickly into the mid and upper 50s.

Overnight temperatures in Seattle will drop into the mid-30s again by early Monday morning. We can’t completely rule out another round of patchy, hyper-localized fog, but most areas should stay clear.

By Monday afternoon, highs climb back into the mid to upper 50s with abundant sunshine continuing. It’s another classic crisp morning, bright afternoon setup.

Seattle weather stays sunny and mild through Monday before rain returns Tuesday.

Tuesday: The rain train is back

On Tuesday, an approaching area of low pressure will bring the rain train back into action. Expect scattered lowland rain, mountain snow for the highest elevations, and slightly breezy conditions at times. This won’t be a big event, but you’ll notice the shift compared to our calm, sunny stretch this weekend.

Seattle weather turns wetter beginning Tuesday with steady light rain adding up through late week.

Midweek: Dropping snow levels

Wednesday snow levels range between 4,000 and 5,000 feet, with decent snow accumulation expected above that elevation.

As we head into Thursday and Friday, snow levels drop closer to 3,000 - 3,500 feet. That could allow for at least minor snow accumulation at some of the ski resorts and mountain passes.

Cloudy skies round out the work week, with highs remaining in the 50s and overnight lows mainly in the 40s.
