Seattle weather: Fourth of July sunshine, 80s Monday

Published July 4, 2026 2:10 PM PDT

The Fourth of July featured pleasant summer weather across western Washington. Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sunshine, helping temperatures climb into the mid-70s—right around average for Independence Day

Conditions also remained dry, and partly cloudy skies were expected for Seattle fireworks displays later this evening, making for great viewing weather across the region.

What's next:

Looking ahead to Sunday, there will be a few morning clouds before plentiful afternoon sunshine returns. High temperatures will once again reach the mid-70s, continuing the comfortable holiday weekend.

Seattle weather stays dry and comfortable west of the Cascades, but a Red Flag Warning is in effect this afternoon and evening for central and eastern Washington due to hot, dry, and windy conditions.

Warming temperatures next week

The warmest day of the forecast will arrive on Monday as highs climb into the low 80s. It will be a toasty afternoon for the USA vs. Belgium match at Seattle Stadium at 5 p.m., so anyone attending the game or heading to outdoor watch parties should remember to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade when possible.

Temperatures will ease back into the upper 70s on Tuesday before settling into the mid-70s for the remainder of the week. A few showers could develop over the mountains on Wednesday, but most lowland communities will likely remain dry. Beyond that, the forecast will stay dry with a mix of sunshine and clouds through the rest of the seven-day outlook.
