That's right, KPLU weather expert Cliff Mass says those who live in "these low spots, places where the wind doesn't get into, these hollows" could see temperatures in the 20s early Saturday morning.

For most of western Washington, it'll drop into the mid 30s tonight, says Mass, a professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington.

"We have a slug of cold air that's pushed all the way down into California," he says.

It'll begin warming up on Sunday, as a front brings in showers by Sunday evening. And by Monday, he predicts it'll be mostly dry and back up into the 50s.
