FOX 13 Meteorologist Abby Acone has a look at your Seafair 2024 weather forecast.

SEATTLE - After a cloudy and overcast start to the day, sunshine will make a strong reappearance around Seattle and Western Washington on Wednesday afternoon. Thereafter, temperatures heat up in a big way around the region.

Cloudy weather Wednesday morning will be short-lived: Seattle will enjoy sunshine later today.

This afternoon, temperatures will lift into the upper 70s to the low 80s. This morning, we enjoyed a round of Mother Nature's A/C (aka the marine layer). We'll be treated to bluer skies later today.

Warm, pleasant weather is on the way for Seattle Wednesday.

Temperatures rebound into the 80s on Thursday. We skyrocket to the upper 80s on Friday. The 80s persist for the remainder of the seven-day forecast. We'll be dry for at least the next two weeks. Find some ways to stay cool!

For those going to any of the various Seafair festivities Friday through Sunday, make sure to stay hydrated and wear plenty of sunscreen. The UV index will be high. Temperatures will be rather scorching by Western Washington's standards.

Extra hot weather will return to Seattle this weekend.

There's a small chance there could be a little haziness from regional wildfires pushing into Western Washington on Thursday – and then potentially again Sunday and Monday. The possibility is rather small. We don't expect much of a drop in air quality, if anything at all. Stay tuned because smoke forecasting is very challenging!
