Seattle weather: Temps in the 80s return Monday

SEATTLE - A gradual warming trend is in store for Seattle through Wednesday. Highs will climb to the 80s through the middle of the workweek before we tumble to the 70s on Thursday.

A ridge of high pressure will strengthen this week: between that, the thermal trough developing at the surface and north/northeasterly winds starting to blow, highs will soar above-average on Tuesday and Wednesday.
High pressure will develop this week, which will lead to hot weather in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
For today, highs will be closer to average – reaching the low 80s in Seattle. You can expect generous, brilliant sunshine.
Highs will reach the upper 70s to the low 80s around Puget Sound and Seattle on Monday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Keep in mind: fire danger will be elevated at times this week.
Should there be enough instability and moisture in the atmosphere, there could be isolated thunderstorms over the Cascades on Wednesday and/or Thursday. If this happens, there's a risk of lightning creating new fires.
If heavy rain pops up over areas that have had wildfires in recent years, there could be spotty cases of flash flooding. Stick with us for any changes!
Scorching, sunny weather will develop in Seattle this week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
