Seattle has experienced an unusually dry and cold stretch for the past ten days, with clear skies and nighttime temperatures dipping below freezing. According to the National Weather Service, this precipitation-free run could break the January 1963 record, when rain did not fall for 15 consecutive days. Meteorologists note that even if the record isn't surpassed, the current dry spell will very likely match that feat.
The forecast for the coming days calls for continued sunny weather with morning fog and daytime temperatures reaching the mid-40s Fahrenheit. These conditions should especially please Seattle Seahawks fans, whose NFL playoff game will take place in similar weather. Meteorologist Dana Felton emphasized that the dry period will last at least into the start of next week.
