We are tracking the heat!  Highs will warm into the upper 80s Thursday with Friday near 90 in Seattle and that is why there is a "Weather Alert Day" for Western WA. Farther south and east highs will jump into the mid 90s.

Getting hot - Weather Alert Day on Friday

Today through Friday we're warming up to the uncomfortable zone.  SeaTac will probably nudge 90 on Friday, with temps climbing into the low/mid 90s to the south and in the Cascade foothills away from Puget Sound.  This is potentially unhealthy for some, especially if you don't have air conditioning.  Today we begin the warming with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to the mid/upper 80s.  

Warming up this week! We say hello to the upper 80s to low 90s for Western WA.

What a beautiful day we saw around the region.  Highs soaring into the upper 60s to low 70s at the coast with 70s and 80s inland.  A warming trend is the theme the rest of the week as an upper ridge builds in over the area.  This will push some spots into the 90s!  So, keep the sunscreen and sunglasses handy!
