High pressure aloft building in over the next day or so will combine with weak offshore wind flow to allow for plenty of sunshine and lots of warming Tuesday. But to start the day, temperatures will be in the 40s but warm quickly as we go through Tuesday morning.
By Tuesday late afternoon, temperatures will be in the 70s in most spots except on the northern waters and the islands with some of the warmest spots near the Cascades touching 80 degrees! Seattle reached 76° last Thursday and my forecast is for a high of 77°. (The record high is well out of reach and is 86° set in 2013.)
This warmup is done by Wednesday morning with a weak front that will bring clouds into the area and a few spotty light rain showers. There will still be some sunbreaks on Wednesday and rainfall amounts will be quite light — a few hundredths of an inch for most -- and temperatures will only top out in the lower 60s.
Thursday will have a mix of clouds and sun and highs in the low to mid 60s in Seattle, before we warm toward 70 by Friday!
The weekend forecast is still a bit murky, but the first half of the weekend looks pretty good with clouds and sun and highs in the 60s before possibly some rain chances and more clouds by Sunday.
