'Plenty of sunshine' Tuesday after coldest morning of the winter season



SEATTLE -- The Puget Sound region will see plenty of sunshine after the coldest morning of the season Tuesday.

People across the region are waking up to temperatures in the 20s.

Although we'll see sunshine, we won't see a lot of warmth. Temperatures will struggle to get above freezing.

A few spots, like the coast, will see temperatures in the upper 30s. In the areas that got snow Monday, any melting of snow or ice on sidewalks, stairs and roadways will refreeze this evening when temperatures plummet back into the 20s.

Major roadways have been plowed and de-iced, but transportation officials warn that side streets and neighborhoods will remain tricky for the next couple of days.

By Thursday, the region could see more snow showers, and another winter storm coming Friday could bring more snowfall and frigid temps to the area.

Here are some tips from WSP on how to drive safe on icy roads:
