Seattle weather Monday: Gradual clearing, mild temperatures

Published July 26, 2026 2:36 PM PDT

The good news is that fire danger in Central and eastern Washington eased a notch today compared to Saturday, so no Red Flag Warnings were in effect. However, several large wildfires continue to burn across Central and Eastern Washington after growing rapidly over the past couple of days. It will remain occasionally breezy and dry there this week, and multiple air quality alerts remain in effect.

Here in Western Washington, no air quality alerts are in place. Air quality is expected to remain good for most locations, though it could briefly dip into the moderate category at times this week. We’ll continue to monitor conditions and keep you updated if the forecast changes.

Seattle weather will continue to benefit from good air quality even as large wildfires burn across Central and Eastern Washington.
