We’ll likely see a mixture of mid to high-level clouds today, producing a filtered sunshine effect from time-to-time. We’ll have to see if the clouds will be high enough in the atmosphere to still provide good visibility for the firework performances.
While there might be a light shower over the Cascades today, most around the region will be dry. In the southeastern corner of the state, there could be isolated thunderstorms.

Remember to take extra precautions to avoid starting fires this weekend! Don’t park on tall, dry grass. Don’t throw cigarette butts. If you’re in a community where fireworks are allowed, use them responsibly and be extremely cautious.
Temperatures heat up in a more significant way next workweek. Highs will soar to the mid 80s on Tuesday. For folks without air-conditioning, there might be a couple of nights with uncomfortable sleeping weather. Keep the fans blasting and stay hydrated.
