What's Ahead: Although it will be mainly cloudy through Monday, most of Western Washington enjoys dry and mild weather to start the work week. The exception will be the coast and northern interior areas where a weak front will push enough moisture in from the Pacific to threaten light showers at times in those areas.

Tonight's lows drop into the 40s and some high 30s to the south. South winds will blow 5 to 10 mph. Monday's highs will climb to the high 50s and lower 60.

High pressure responsible for the tame weather pattern drifts east Monday night, opening the way for rain on the coast, arriving over the Seattle area Tuesday. Highs will cool a bit to the mid 50s.

Expect some showers and sun breaks Wednesday but a drying trend Thursday under partly sunny skies. More sun comes Friday and Saturday with a chance of a few showers Sunday.
