Forecasters expect drier weather and blue skies over Washington the next few days.
“A ridge of high pressure will control the weather for most of the week with sunny conditions and gradually warmer temperatures,” writes KING 5 meteorologist Jim Guy in his extended forecast.
Guy tells KIRO Radio Seattle’s Morning News that Monday will be mostly sunny with a highs around 60. He expects the forecast to remain clear through Monday evening and into Tuesday, with highs Tuesday expected in the mid 60s.
The National Weather Service says Wednesday will likely be the warmest day in Western Washington with highs in the 70s.
Clouds return by the end of the week with a chance of showers.
In Eastern Washington, forecasters say the dry and sunny weather won’t prevent temperatures from falling below freezing Monday night. Lows will be in the 30s through Friday but the highs should reach the 70s.
The Weather Service issued a freeze warning until 8 a.m. Tuesday for areas that include the Yakima Valley and lower Columbia Basin.
