Showers, cloudy weather to return to Seattle on Wednesday

Seattle weather: Warm temps Tuesday before clouds increase overnight

Clouds will increase overnight Tuesday with a few light showers and cooler temperatures into Wednesday. High pressure will build again by the end of the week for more sunshine and warmer temperatures.

SEATTLE - We’re tracking another day in the mid-80s across the greater Seattle area.

Due to an incoming low pressure system on Wednesday, temperatures will plunge to the upper 60s tomorrow as showers return to the region.

This afternoon, highs will lift to the mid 80s for many places in Central and South Puget Sound. Near the Cascades, temperatures will be even hotter — boosting to nearly 90 degrees in places like North Bend.
