The Fog and Your Weekend Plans

The fog at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill

Cliff Mass says the inversion that's producing our film-noir quality fog will stick around through the weekend. If you want to skip the pea soupers, head to the hills. Mass reports that it was 66 degrees and clear on top of Tiger Mountain yesterday, and nearly 70 at Paradise on Rainier. By the way, weather groupies, Mass is signing his book at the UW Bookstore at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

If on the other hand you want to embrace the film noir ambiance, drop in at SIFF's "French Crime Wave" series: this weekend features Mississippi Mermaid (Belmondo and Deneuve) and Le Cercle Rouge (Volante, Montand, Delon).
