SEATTLE -- With a weak trough bringing us onshore flow, the theme today through the weekend will be: morning clouds, some afternoon clearing, highs in the 70s, with a warm up each day.

Today, we'll top out near 70. Saturday, mid 70s. Sunday, upper 70s to near 80. Perfect for the STP bike ride!

Next week looks warmer again -- Monday & Tuesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 80s. Wednesday & Thursday will be a tad cooler, upper 70s, but still dry with nice afternoon sunshine!
