SEATTLE - The Pacific Northwest enjoyed another beautiful June day today. After some patchy morning stratus clouds, skies turned mostly sunny for the afternoon.
Because the center of high pressure remained positioned over the Pacific rather than directly overhead, temperatures stayed comfortably warm rather than excessively hot, with highs reaching the mid-70s across much of the Seattle area.
Tomorrow will be even warmer as sunshine dominates and temperatures climb into the upper 70s. Dry conditions will continue region-wide as high pressure gradually strengthens.

The warmest weather of the seven-day forecast arrives Monday as high pressure becomes more firmly established overhead. Temperatures will surge into the upper 80s, bringing the first widespread taste of summer heat to Western Washington. Those spending extended time outdoors early next week should plan ahead, stay hydrated, and take frequent breaks during the warmest part of the afternoon.
Seattle weather will warm further in the coming days as that ridge gradually shifts overhead. (FOX 13 Seattle)
