Scorching 80-degree weather in Seattle into Tuesday

Seattle weather: Temperatures to heat up Monday

The warming trend continues at the start of the week with temps in the 80s.

SEATTLE - Due to a ridge of high pressure and a thermal trough developing over the Cascades, temperatures will spike to the mid-80s across many communities in Central and South Puget Sound.

The hotter-than-normal weather will continue into Tuesday before more marked relief arrives on Wednesday.

Highs this afternoon will skyrocket to the mid 80s. Neighborhoods closer to the Cascades (e.g. North Bend) will be the hottest – along with places across the Sound Sound (e.g. Olympia and Centralia). The coast will be dramatically cooler. Hoquiam, for example, will only reach the mid 60s.

Hot weather in Seattle

Local perspective:

Tuesday will remain sizzling across Puget Sound. For those without air-conditioning, the next few nights could make for uncomfortable sleeping weather. Please stay hydrated and find ways to stay cool.

Unfortunately, fire danger will be elevated the next couple of days. Do everything you can to avoid starting fires! Central and Eastern Washington are facing a Heat Advisory on Tuesday with a few wildfires ongoing. 

Seattle will experience several days with 80-degree weather this week. (FOX 13 Seattle)

What's next:

Noticeably cooler weather is back on Wednesday along with cloudier skies and light showers. Thursday will be mild. The warmth rebuilds next weekend.
