Mostly sunny Friday with cooler temps and some isolated showers
A few isolated showers remain over our region Friday and through Saturday.
Cooler temperatures are also settling across the region. This morning, most lowland areas are seeing temperatures in the mid 40s with highs expected to only reach the low to mid 50s.
We could see light snow accumulations in the Cascades of one to two inches in the passes on Saturday, with a few more inches possible over the peaks of the Cascades. Little to no snow is expected in the Olympics.
Morning lows in the lowlands Saturday will dip to the lower 40s, and possibly in the upper 30s in some communities.
A frost advisory will begin late Saturday night and go until 8 a.m. on Sunday for foothills and valleys of Thurston and Lewis counties, the lowlands of Lewis and southern Thurston counties, as well as the Middle Chehalis River Valley, Willapa and Black Hills.
We could see our coldest temperatures Sunday morning before we start heating back up.
Temperatures begin to increase back into the 60s by Monday.
Next week is shaping up to be a dry one. We have a possible return to showers by the end of next week.

Ask A Met: Why Can't You Bomb A Tornado?
This week Morning Brief reader Lynda Buckler writes, "I've wondered why a plane couldn't fly above a tornado cloud and drop something into the cloud to disperse the funnel? I read of tornados traveling miles and miles with destruction in their path…so?" Senior Digital Meteorologist Jonathan Belles: Well, just to begin historically, I'm not aware of anyone attempting to divert a tornado, but we have diverted rain clouds. In fact, this has famously been done around the Olympics. Basically, the idea is that you want good weather for the Olympic games, so we want the rain that would normally fall to fall out somewhere else. China has done this a couple of different times. What they're doing is seeding clouds. Basically, a plane injects molecules into the clouds to make them heavier and cause the water molecules to fall out sooner. Typically, they're 100 miles upwind of where the storm would normally go. They seed the clouds and make them rain out before they get into the area that would be impacted. In theory, I think it's possible to apply that kind of technology to a tornado. You're just trying to get the storm to rain itself out. Tornadoes need thunderstorms. Thunderstorms need rain. And rain, obviously, needs moisture. You're trying to take one of those ingredients away from those thunderstorms, so that they can be less successful at producing a tornado later on. The problem with a tornado is a much, much smaller scale. They don't last very long in a thunderstorm or a big thunderstorm complex. Tornadoes may only last a couple of minutes. Sure, a rare one may go for more than 100 miles, but you still have to scramble the plane, arrange all of the ingredients to get the cloud seeding done, and get the pilot into the correct spot. So it's very, very tricky, I think. In the film Twisters in 2024, part of the plot is some kind of idea about being able to stop a tornado. Basically they are forcing the molecules to be too heavy, so that they'll fall out. The video effects in the film are a little pseudoscience-y. They show the actual thunderstorm complex doing, like, a little donut and falling to the ground. It's not probably how that would end up working, but, basically the idea is the same as the cloud seeding in China that I mentioned. If we somehow got 50 years down the line, totally hypothetical here, into the pattern of seeding every storm or every storm system that came across the Plains to produce tornadoes, we would be producing rain in the Rockies or fundamentally changing the climate of some other location. Do you want all of that water coming down into Denver, because we want to possibly stop a tornado in Kansas? Probably not. Somebody's going to be mad about that. We'd be adding rain somewhere and taking it away from somewhere else. So, we'd just be moving the problem from one place to another, right? But I do think this will be an ongoing discussion for the end of time. Do you have a question to ask the meteorologists at Write to us at and we'll pick a new question each week from readers to answer.

French Open 2025: Novak Djokovic is bothered by the weather more than anything in 1st-round win
PARIS — Novak Djokovic experienced the lowest of lows — pulling out of the French Open after tearing the meniscus in his right knee — and the highest of highs — winning a long-sought Olympic gold medal for Serbia — at Roland-Garros last year. This trip to the site went smoothly, once he got going. Other than some first-set interruptions by, and lengthy discussions about, the windy, wet weather, the 24-time major champion was unbothered during a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over 98th-ranked Mackie McDonald of the United States at Court Philippe-Chatrier in the first round. 'He makes it seem like a video game, almost, for him,' said McDonald, a 30-year-old Californian who played college tennis at UCLA and twice has been to the fourth round at Grand Slam tournaments. 'He's able to just do so much. I don't even think he was playing his best tennis or his highest level. But if I pushed him to a different point, he would bring it up.' One example: When McDonald earned his first break points, getting to love-40 at 3-2 in the second set, Djokovic came up with three big serves, a 120 mph (193 kph) ace, a 123 mph (199 kph) ace and a 122 mph (197 kph) service winner. Djokovic compiled 32 winners — 18 more than McDonald — and just 20 unforced errors in a match that eventually was played with the lights on and the retractable roof closed. 'I'm a competitor, and losing stings,' McDonald said, 'but playing Novak on that court is something I'll remember.' Before Djokovic, who just turned 38 and won his 100th career title last weekend, walked onto the playing surface, he was identified by the stadium announcer by his total number of Slam trophies, the three he's won at the French Open, and the Summer Games gold he won 'here in Paris.' 'I still remember last year's Olympic Games. It was the last time I was here,' Djokovic said afterward. 'The emotion is very strong.' The medal that means so much to him? 'I don't have the medal with me. But I have a picture of the medal in my bag,' he said. 'The medal is with my father. My dad likes trophies more than I do, so I gave him mine.' Once Coco Gauff found her rackets — a relatively important piece of equipment for a tennis player — all was well for her in the first round. Gauff showed up on court, opened her bag and peered inside to find it was missing her rackets. The start of the warmup was delayed, but then everything went Gauff's way, and the 2023 U.S. Open champion got past Olivia Gadecki 6-2, 6-2. Other winners included the No. 3 seeds, Jessica Pegula and Alexander Zverev, and 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva, but 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev, who was seeded 11th, lost to Cam Norrie 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5 across nearly four hours. The second round begins on Day 4, with a schedule that includes defending champions Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz, 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini and two-time finalist Casper Ruud. Swiatek meets 2021 U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu in the day session's last match in the main stadium. ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: .
