While the weather's usually a telling sign, many are still wondering: When does fall officially start in Seattle?

Changing wind patterns around the cascades are going to impact the amount of wildfire smoke descending into the Puget Sound region on Tuesday. We break down what to expect and how to protect yourself.

After a cool and sunny Monday, temperatures will soar back into the 80s on Tuesday with hazy sunshine.

A slow moving front brought light showers to parts of Western Washington.  Areas along the coast saw the most, with more than .50" falling near Forks.  No measurable rain fell at Sea-Tac during the day on Sunday. 

Seattle is in store for times of damp weather on Sunday, but drier conditions will prevail by Monday morning. Tuesday will be hotter and potentially hazier as well, with some amounts of wildfire smoke (the details are still fluid as of this writing). 

A disturbance and slow-moving front will bring some much-needed rain to Western Washington. Rain will arrive along the coast Saturday evening with rain in the interior lowlands by Sunday morning. 

While Saturday is featuring abundant sunshine for many communities in western Washington, scattered and steady rain will make a comeback in the Seattle area on Sunday. 

Highs will be a few degrees warmer as high pressure moves overhead, leading to afternoon sunshine as well.

A fast-growing wildfire in North Cascades National Park is casting thick smoke across the region and leaving visitors stunned by the scale of the destruction.

We're tracking a mild albeit mostly cloudy start to the weekend in Seattle with the possibility for slightly damp weather on Sunday. 

Temperatures Friday will be a few degrees warmer with the nice sunbreaks, leading to highs in the low 70s.
