Cold Start To Week, But Warm Temps Coming: Forecast

WOODINVILLE, WA - From sun to rain to sleet to snow - it feels like Puget Sound has been hit by every type of winter weather over the last few days. But there's one more we haven't experienced yet: ice.

The National Weather Service is predicting an icy commute Monday morning. The NWS issued a special weather statement covering all of Puget Sound Sunday afternoon. Sunday's snow and rain will be exposed to temperatures in the 20s overnight Monday, which could create icy conditions during Monday morning.

"Skies will begin clearing later tonight, allowing low temperatures to dip to near or below freezing in many areas. The coldest temperatures in the mid and upper 20s are expected in outlying areas away from the water. Some roads that are still wet or slushy will freeze late tonight and Monday morning. Icy roads should be anticipated for the Monday morning commute," the statement said.

But, there is a bright spot on the horizon. Temperatures are expected to rise into the 50s by the end of the week. Here's the full week-ahead forecast from the National Weather Service:
