Seattle weather: Friday will be dry with late showers

Friday morning will be off to a cool start, but afternoon highs will warm nicely into the mid and upper 60s as winds pick up a bit and become breezy in central Washington.

Gusty winds along with the dry conditions will lead to elevated fire danger later today. A Red Flag Warning will go into effect at 3pm until early Saturday morning.

Plenty of blue skies this afternoon with near average highs in the upper 60s.
