Seattle weather: First frost, freeze of the season in Western Washington

Into early Friday morning, temperatures tumble to the low to mid 30s. For this reason, the National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory from midnight tonight to 9 a.m. Friday. Many of you might be wondering why a Frost Advisory goes in effect if temps are above freezing. Here's the deal: air temperatures are measured several feet above the ground. At the surface, the ground can be much cooler. That's why we have concerns over frost, even if the air temp is 37 degrees.

This means that the Hawks game on Sunday will be dry ! Trick-or-treaters will be delighted to know that they don't need to wear a rain poncho or rain jacket – just a warm coat is all they need! Something to note: fog or freezing fog is possible once again Monday morning. We'll keep a close watch on that for you.
