If you're lucky enough to go to a Mariners game this weekend, make sure to dress in light layers and bring sun protection: it'll feel hot under all the direct sunshine! Highs this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 70s across Central and South Puget Sound.

We expect good to moderate air quality this weekend around Western Washington this weekend. However, air quality could drop briefly to "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or worse this weekend due to the Bear Gulch fire. Keep in mind: the threat for wildfires will be high through the start of next workweek.
Highs will reach the 80s between Sunday to Tuesday in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Thanks so much!
