SEATTLE -- Clouds. Drizzle. Intermittent sun breaks.
When is summer going to get here, Seattle?
We seem to be stuck in a pattern of "Seattle blah," meteorologist Katie Boer said. And there's no exit on the horizon.
"The next couple of days are kind of gloomy," Boer said. "Don't shoot the messenger. Lots of clouds, scattered small shower chances and below average temps."

Thursday started out gray. There were a few sun breaks between Everett and near Sequim. Some cooler spots in the 40s early around Shelton, Bremerton and Olympia this morning.
If there's any good news, it's that Thursday looks like the coolest day, Boer said. Below average temperatures will continue, and scattered light rain will persist through July 4.
Temperatures should return to the low 70s by Wednesday, Boer said.
Why are we stuck in this lull? Boer explains:
We shouldn't see too much - if any rain- on the Fourth of July. But we'll have to wait a little longer to get a more accurate forecast.
As far as full, 80 degree summer?
Only time will tell.
