As western Washington welcomes the long holiday weekend, cold temperatures are coming with it and staying into next week.
It’s been an unusually dry January in western Washington. A strong ridge of high pressure along the West Coast is steering storms out of the way.On a normal year, Sea-Tac Airport receives around 5.7” of rain. More than halfway through the month of January, Sea-Tac Airport has measured 1.04” in its rain gauges.
Light winds from a northeasterly direction will bring in some of the chilly air into the Pacific Northwest. Low temperatures across the region will plunge to 27-30. Daytime high temperatures will be 40-42. This ridge of high pressure is typically associated with mostly clear conditions and calm winds. But this also lets sinking air cool, and reach saturation, and fog can develop and low stratus clouds. The fog struggles to mix around with little winds and can linger through the early afternoon. With low temperatures hovering in the upper 20s and low 30s, freezing fog and black ice can form. Drive with caution.
