Pretty nice back-to-school weather

SEATTLE -- As many kids head back to school, we have a few sprinkles around and we're getting a few thunderstorms in the South Sound this morning.

But, this afternoon, it'll be mainly a dry day with a mix of clouds & sun, and highs near 80.  Tomorrow looks pretty stormy -- rain, heavy at times, with the chance of thunderstorms.  It'll be cooler too with highs in the low 70s.

Friday starts out wet, but showers should taper off by the evening.  Highs will be on the cool side, upper 60s.  Saturday we rebound nicely -- partly sunny, mid 70s.  Sunday through next Tuesday it looks mostly sunny with highs near 80 again.
