...TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO RECORD HIGHS ACROSS WESTERN
WASHINGTON THIS WEEKEND...
HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON WILL CLIMB INTO THE
80S AND LOWER 90S THIS WEEKEND. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME SPOTS
IN THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR MAY REACH THE MID 90S ON SUNDAY.
IN MOST LOCATIONS THE TEMPERATURES WILL COME CLOSE TO...BUT NOT
QUITE REACH...RECORD HIGHS. SATURDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY ALONG
THE WASHINGTON COAST...WITH HIGHS NEAR 80 ALONG THE COASTAL STRIP
AND IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S JUST INLAND. ONSHORE FLOW WILL KICK IN
AND PRODUCE COOLER COASTAL TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY. SUNDAY WILL BE
THE WARMEST DAY FOR THE INTERIOR. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 80S TO
LOWER 90S SATURDAY...AND 1 TO 3 DEGREES WARMER ON SUNDAY. THE
WARMEST SPOTS WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR AND EAST OF
PUGET SOUND.
STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT IS CAUSING THIS HOT SPELL WILL
MOVE EAST BY SUNDAY...ALLOWING ONSHORE FLOW TO BRING COOLER
COASTAL AIR INLAND SUNDAY NIGHT.
WHILE THIS STRETCH OF HOT WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE ESPECIALLY
OPPRESSIVE...KEEP IN MIND THAT IT WILL BE A RATHER ABRUPT TRANSITION...
AND HOT WEATHER DOES PRESENT HAZARDS. IN PARTICULAR...THE ELDERLY AND
INFANTS HAVE MORE DIFFICULTY WITH HOT WEATHER. BE WARY OF THE
DANGERS FOR CHILDREN PLAYING NEAR WATER...AND REMEMBER THAT RIVERS
AND LAKES ARE STILL COLD DUE TO MOUNTAIN SNOW MELT. STAY HYDRATED
AND AVOID VIGOROUS ACTIVITY DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. NEVER
LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS IN A PARKED CAR.
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR SPOTS AROUND
WESTERN WASHINGTON...
