Slight cooldown this weekend in Seattle
Saturday will bring morning clouds before sunshine increases through the afternoon. Temperatures will stay in the low to mid-70s this weekend, with overnight lows dropping into the 50s. Sunday will feature increasing sunshine, setting up a beautiful start to the work week.
Monday will warm into the upper 70s, followed by temperatures climbing into the low 80s Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This will not be a big heat wave, but homes without air conditioning could start to feel slightly warmer or even a bit sweltering during the afternoons and evenings as temperatures rise.
The Seattle weather outlook will stay mainly dry while temperatures remain seasonably warm. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Fire danger continues in Eastern Washington
We are also watching multiple wildfires burning across Central and Eastern Washington. A Fire Weather Watch will be in place Saturday afternoon and evening for some areas where high fire danger, low relative humidity levels, and blustery winds could create more challenging fire conditions.
While Seattle weather will have low-to-moderate fire danger, the threat of wildfires is much higher in Eastern Washington. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking ahead, the seven-day forecast will remain quiet with a gradual warming trend. Sunshine will increase through the weekend, and temperatures will rise into the low 80s by the middle of next week. While it will feel warmer, we don't expect heat to create widespread issues.
The Seattle weather pattern will bring highs climbing into the low 80s by midweek. (FOX 13 Seattle)
