Heat Wave On The Way: Puget Sound Weather Week
Can you remember the last time it was 70 degrees in Puget Sound? Neither can we.
SEATTLE, WA - Summer is still two months away, but we're going to get a taste of warm weather this week, and it's certainly well-deserved. Temperatures are forecast to reach 70 and above on Wednesday and Thursday. We will have to suffer through a few days of drizzly, cool weather, but midweek and the upcoming weekend look pretty promising.
Yes, 70° for #Seattle & most areas Wed & Thu! Will be 1st time hit 70° this year. Last time Sea-TacAP hit 70°: 11/8/2016. #wawx #ShortsWX pic.twitter.com/RpJ3Fj4VRc
