A little cooler, changes for the weekend

SEATTLE -- There are more clouds around this morning and it will take them longer to clear out, so it'll be a bit cooler.  It will still be mostly sunny this afternoon (except on the coast), highs in the low 80s.

Tomorrow will be pretty much the same and maybe a couple of degrees cooler. Then the weekend . . . cloudier and cooler, with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s (right around normal).

Thunderstorms looks likely in the mountains (hikers & campers be aware!) and some of them could waft down into the lowlands. Saturday looks most likely for this, but there is a chance on Sunday as well.  Next week starts out great -- morning clouds, afternoon sun, highs near normal -- mid to upper 70s.
