Seattle weather: Temps back in the 70s Thursday and Friday

Thursday will be the warmest day of the week with sunny skies and high temperatures soaring into the 70s.

A ridge of high pressure over the Pacific Northwest will shift inland today, bringing in weak offshore flow and keeping clouds at bay. Temperatures will make it into the low to mid 70s for many spots around the central and south Puget Sound.
