FOX 13 Seattle weather anchor Stephen Kilbreath has your latest western Washington weather forecast.
SEATTLE - A strengthening ridge of high pressure delivered another beautiful summer day across Western Washington.
The heat will continue to build on Sunday and Monday as the ridge reaches peak strength. Weather alerts are in effect for western Washington, with temperatures expected to soar into the upper 80s and low 90s. Record heat will be possible at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, especially on Monday.

The heat will arrive as thousands of visitors are in town for FIFA World Cup action. Seattle’s first-ever World Cup match will take place Monday at noon as Belgium faces Egypt.
Fans attending the match or outdoor watch parties will need to take precautions by staying hydrated, wearing light-colored clothing, seeking shade when possible, and limiting strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day.

Why you should care:
In addition to the heat, elevated fire danger will develop Sunday and Monday as hot temperatures combine with dry conditions. Residents should use caution with any activity that could spark a fire.

Local perspective:
This stretch of heat will be moderately dangerous, especially for vulnerable populations. Overnight temperatures will only fall into the 60s, making it more difficult for homes without air conditioning to cool down.
Anyone spending extended time outdoors should drink plenty of water and check on neighbors who may be sensitive to the heat.
Temperatures will begin to ease on Tuesday as the ridge weakens. Afternoon highs will return to the upper 70s for much of the week. Looking ahead to Friday, temperatures will climb back into the 80s for Team USA’s World Cup match against Australia in Seattle.
Seattle weather will cool back into the upper 70s by midweek before highs return to the 80s next Friday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
