Seattle weather: Friday and Saturday could bring record cold

Record cold high temperatures are possible Friday and Saturday as temps plummet into the low to mid 60s with a chance of showers.

Thursday will remain mild, but cooler than average. Expect mostly cloudy skies and temperatures back into the low 70s.

A low pressure system off the Washington and Oregon coasts will continue to spin isolated showers into the Puget Sound area, though the afternoon looks more dry than wet. Thunderstorms are possible west of the Cascades and in the mountains today.
