Seattle is expected to experience mostly dry weather conditions in the coming days, with a possibility of freezing fog during the early morning hours. According to FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone, residents should prepare for reduced visibility and potentially slippery roads during these times.
The forecast indicates that daytime temperatures will remain mild, with highs in the mid-40s°F (around 7°C). However, overnight lows are projected to drop to the low 30s°F (around 0°C), creating conditions conducive to fog formation. Freezing fog occurs when fog droplets freeze upon contact with surfaces, leading to hazardous travel conditions.
Meteorologist Acone advises commuters to exercise caution during early morning hours, allowing extra time for travel and maintaining safe distances between vehicles. She also recommends that pedestrians be vigilant for icy patches on sidewalks and roadways.
The National Weather Service suggests that the dry spell may continue through mid-January, providing a respite from the region’s typical winter precipitation. Nonetheless, residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather updates, as conditions can change rapidly.
