After a cool end to the week on Friday, sunnier skies returned for this weekend.  The ridge of high pressure will continue to keep skies clear into Sunday.  A few spots may wake up to some patchy low clouds, but clear out quickly.

Our warming trend continues into Sunday with many spots warming into the upper 60s.  A few may even see some low 70s before the day is done on Sunday.  East of the Cascades, the sunshine will also be plentiful with highs nearing 80 degrees.

Seattle weather turns noticeably warmer through Tuesday as a strengthening ridge of high pressure boosts temperatures into the 80s.
