August starting out cloudy, cooler & maybe a little wet

Today and tomorrow will be mainly cloudy with high temps only around 70.  There is a chance of showers late today through tomorrow.  But it won't be much rain.  Chance of thunderstorms continues for the Cascades and there is a Red Flag Warning for high fire danger from the Cascade crest into Eastern Washington.  Our SeaFair Weekend looks splendid!  Expect cloudy mornings with partly-to-mostly sunny skies by the afternoons.  Highs will be near normal -- mid-to-upper 70s.  Next week, we go back to that summery pattern of morning clouds, afternoon sun and highs around 80.
