Things to do: Sunshine, heat advisory, flowers, Mother's Day
Warmer temperatures on the way
More warmth is on the way as a strong ridge of high pressure along with easterly winds will control the forecast, leaving us with plenty of sunshine and well above-average highs.
Mother's Day weekend is here, and there are a lot of events happening in the Puget Sound area. Keep in mind, this weekend may require sunscreen and a way to keep cool.
According to the weather forecast, temperatures could reach 90 degrees on Saturday or Sunday - which could break a new record.
