Mostly dry weather for rest of year in Washington

SEATTLE — The National Weather Service says the mostly dry December weather is likely to continue for the rest of the year in Washington.

Forecasters say there may be some light rain at times the next several days, but the cloudy, foggy weather with stagnant air is likely to hang around well into next week.

Since the rain year began in October, precipitation and the mountain snowpack in Washington are below normal.
