Pleasant week ahead

SEATTLE -- Morning clouds with nice afternoon clearing today. Comfortable high temps - mid 70s.

Good news - it looks mostly clear overnight for decent viewing of the Perseids Meteor Shower.  Best viewing is away from city lights. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be warmer, topping out in the low-to-mid 80s with mostly sunny skies.  Thursday & Friday look partly sunny and highs will be back to the mid-to-upper 70s.

There could be a few showers on Friday, mainly on the coast.  The coming weekend looks pleasant too -- mostly sunny with highs in the low-to-mid 70s.
