Summer-like weather in Seattle this week

By the numbers:

Thanks to a building ridge of high pressure the next few days, highs will soar to the 70s on Thursday and Friday. 

As an area of low pressure approaches late Friday, isolated showers are possible on Saturday. However, the day doesn't look like a washout.

Cooler weather is back in Seattle for the upcoming weekend.
