Stormy morning, then clearing

SEATTLE -- After a stormy night with thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain, we're getting a few more thunderstorms this morning.

This afternoon, skies should clear and we'll top out in cooler mid 70s.  Tomorrow starts out mainly cloudy with afternoon sun and highs near 80.

Friday & Saturday look hot again -- sunny, with highs in the mid 80s. Sunday through the beginning of next week, we'll have that more comfy combination of morning clouds with afternoon sun and highs a little above normal, around 80.
