Northwest Forecast:

A Dry Spell

Well, it's December alright! With dry conditions back in place on Wednesday, any sunshine that did peak through after the morning fog didn't warm us up much. Highs ranged from the low 50s at the coast down to just freezing in parts of Northeastern Washington!

High pressure in place over the region will make for similar weather the next couple of days. Offshore, north to northeasterly winds will make brighter conditions each afternoon for our western cities, but not before some cold early fog sets in each morning. As temperatures for many of us, especially east of the Cascades, will be well below freezing, we could definitely encounter freezing fog in the mornings. Be careful on the morning commute! Afternoon sunshine will peak out each day for most of us. In fact for some of us, clear blue skies will make an appearance. However, temps will stay at or below seasonal levels, so bundle up!

A weather system will make for increasing clouds on Saturday, and a chance for showers back Saturday night into Sunday. You may want to grab your Christmas tree now before you encounter wet lots or tree farms by the weekend!

Have a great night,
