Quiet Weather Continues. Showers return by Friday.
Skies have cleared out a bit this morning and fog is forming in some areas to start the day. It looks like the same general area around Olympia and Chehalis will see fog. Also fog is observed at the Strait of Juan de Fuca and some fog is forming again near Arlington. A few other places around Puget Sound may also see fog this morning, but it should burn off slowly after sunrise. Temperatures are quite cold this morning lows in the 30’s throughout western Washington. Some colder spots are waking up to temperatures in the 20’s away from the water. There could be a few patches of ice on the roads this morning so drive carefully!
Some areas will notice frost on lawns and car windshields this morning as well.
Today will be a partly sunny with highs in the 40s — just a little warmer than the past few days. No rain showers are expected today.
More of the same is expected for New Year’s Eve. Temperatures at midnight will mainly be in the mid to upper 30s with partly to mainly cloudy skies and light winds. The celebrations tomorrow evening will be chilly but again, no rain expected tomorrow night.
Rain chances do return later Thursday and on Friday. Temperatures will try to climb to near 50 during the afternoon. Higher elevations in the mountains will get a few inches of snow starting on Friday and through the upcoming weekend. Weather systems moving in over the weekend will bring some areas of rain and mountain snow, and it could get breezy. Some minor coastal flooding problems could appear again with another round of high astronomical tides.
