Long stretch of dry weather forecast for Seattle in mid January

For those of you craving quiet and dry weather, you'll love our forecast. If you're hoping for winter weather in the mountains for skiing and snowboarding, I have bad news: we're not forecasting any big snowstorms in the high country for at least the next week. 

Cloudy weather is on the way for Seattle on Saturday afternoon.

Highs on Saturday afternoon will reach the mid to upper 40s. You can plan on cloudy skies. Earlier Saturday, a weakening convergence zone produced showers in Snohomish County. Drier weather is expected in most other places today.

There might be a light shower on Sunday, but most backyards will be shower-free. Sunday through Thursday, we'll see a daily trend of morning clouds followed by afternoon sunshine. 

Highs will remain in the 40s this week in Seattle.

Some mornings this week could be foggy. As temperatures plunge to the 30s in many places, we can't rule out the issue of freezing fog at times this week. Should this develop, be extremely careful driving on bridges and overpasses: those are the first to freeze. Black ice can be a big danger with freezing fog. 

Dry weather persists into Friday.
