FOX 13 is Seattle and Western Washington’s source for breaking news, weather, traffic and sports.

A disturbance will create some instability this evening and early Sunday.  This will lead to a chance of storms with lightning and gusty winds.  A Red Flag Warning is in effect until 3am as the storms will lead to high fire danger overnight. 

A disturbance moving north out of Oregon will bring a chance of storms with lightning. 

While air quality has improved around Western Washington, it remains very poor east of the Cascades.  An Air Quality alert is in effect as readings remain very unhealthy.  

Smoky skies continue to impact air quality. 

The Seahawks are gearing up for their season opener at Lumen Field tomorrow.  Temperatures will be in the upper 60s for kick off.  There is also a chance for some light showers during the game.
