Cooler-than-average highs on Wednesday

SEATTLE - Highs on this All-Star Tuesday landed at our seasonal average of 77 for SeaTac.

Overnight clouds increase as onshore flow pushes marine air inland. Temperatures cool into the low to mid 50s.

Our commute forecast for Wednesday is cloudy with a few sprinkles at the coast.

By midday expect some clearing for filtered sunshine with a chance for a few pockets of shallow sprinkles, mainly north. Otherwise, skies will clear to partly sunny by late afternoon.

Look for highs to hang on the cooler side Wednesday. Temperatures only heat into the upper 60s for the North Sound with warmer highs, in the low 70s, through the Central Sound with slightly warmer readings for South Sounders.

Here's a peak at where our normal seasonal temperatures land throughout the summer months for the Seattle area.

As we close out the work week and move into the weekend, upper-level ridging takes over the region. Skies will clear allowing for earlier heating to bring highs above normal. By Saturday, temperatures jump into the mid 80s!

Have a great week all! ~Erin Mayovsky, FOX 13 Forecaster
