It was chilly around Puget Sound Wednesday morning, with some areas dipping into the 40s. Seattle weather was a bit better, with temperatures in the low 50s.
On the positive side, KIRO 7 Meteorologist Nick Allard told Seattle’s Morning News that temperatures in most areas will be back to the mid- to upper-70s by the afternoon. But Allard wouldn’t say whether this is the last week of 70-degree weather.
This tweet from Colleen O’Brien probably says it best.
Are we seeing the last of the 70-degree temps this week? @NickAllardKIRO7‘s answer: “mmmishivsvuh?” So it’s settled. pic.twitter.com/7g5akFwHdr

Temperatures are expected to hold in the 70s through Friday. Allard says people in western Washington should expect increasing showers Saturday, and scattered showers on Sunday.
Showers and cooler temperatures could continue into early next week, according to Allard.
As for the coming weeks, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. At least it’s been warm enough to melt that giant ice cube in Occidental Park.
The ice cube, which was placed by Olson Kundig as public art, is “melting rapidly,” according to University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences Professor Cliff Mass. By Monday night the ice cube was “substantially diminished.”
