The Brief

    • Western Washington saw mid-70s highs with morning clouds clearing to afternoon sunshine today, a mild pattern that will persist through Sunday before temperatures warm into the low 80s early next week.
    • Red Flag Warnings remain in effect through Saturday for Central and Eastern Washington due to low humidity and gusty winds that are creating elevated wildfire risks.
    • Level 3 "go now" evacuations are currently in place for the deadly Chelan Hills fire burning near Lake Chelan.

SEATTLE - Today’s weather looked very similar to Tuesday, with temperatures ending up near or just a touch cooler than yesterday. Highs reached the mid-70s across much of Western Washington, while coastal communities stayed cooler in the 60s. Morning clouds gradually gave way to afternoon sunshine for most locations.

One exception was around central Puget Sound, where a convergence zone developed as airflow split around the Olympic Mountains and came back together over the region.

While no rain was expected, clouds lingered longer across parts of the Kitsap Peninsula, Hood Canal, and the greater Seattle area before sunshine became more widespread later in the afternoon.

Seattle weather will feature morning clouds followed by afternoon sunshine each day through Friday.

Summer sunshine returns on Thursday

Tomorrow, another round of morning clouds will develop before skies brighten to afternoon sunshine. High temperatures will remain comfortably in the mid-70s for most inland communities, with cooler weather continuing along the coast.

That familiar pattern of morning clouds followed by afternoon sunshine will continue each day through Sunday, keeping temperatures seasonably mild with highs generally in the mid-70s.

Seattle weather will keep afternoon highs mainly in the 70s through the weekend before warming begins Monday.

Seattle will see weather peak near 80 Monday before highs climb to around 82 Tuesday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

High pressure will strengthen early next week, allowing temperatures to climb. Highs will reach around 80 degrees Monday before warming into the lower 80s Tuesday.

High fire danger in Eastern Washington

Meanwhile, elevated fire danger will continue across Central and Eastern Washington. Red Flag Warnings remained in effect today because of low relative humidity and gusty winds. Similar conditions are expected tomorrow through Saturday, keeping wildfire risk elevated. Ironically, the same weather pattern bringing Western Washington its mild temperatures and morning clouds is also creating breezy, dry conditions east of the Cascades, making it easier for fires to spread.

We are closely watching the deadly Chelan Hills fire near Lake Chelan. Level three "go now" evacuations are posted. Go here for more.

Seattle weather will stay mild west of the Cascades while elevated fire danger continues farther inland.

Seattle will see weather driven by the same pattern that keeps central and eastern Washington dry, breezy, and under high wildfire risk through Saturday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
