Today's Weather: Hazy Shade of Winter

By Jon Graef in News on Dec 13, 2014 3:30PM

We've got a belly full of Huevos Rancheros, we're hopped up on coffee, and we're ready to do this. Despite the persistent overcast, the week's warming trend will continue into this weekend. Slightly contrary to what you may have heard, we won't quite get into 50 degrees territory until tomorrow.

For your Saturday, expect milder temperatures and lots of clouds. Skilling and Accuweather both predict highs near 45 degrees and Seattle-like conditions of fog and drizzle. Talk about a hazy shade of winter. Depending on your outlook on things, it's a shorts in December kind of weekend if you so choose to make it. Tomorrow, expect things to reach the 50 degree mark, and for the gloomy weather to continue. Perfect for checking out a movie on a budget.
