On the heels of an especially cold October weekend, temperatures should return to normal for the next few days.
GIG HARBOR, WA — Following some of the coldest October days in recent memory, Western Washington is set for a slight warm-up in the week ahead, as afternoon highs climb back into the mid-to-upper 50s, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters expect temperatures will return to the normal range by mid-week and may hit the low-60s in some areas.
