Some of the warmest weather of the summer so far in
Washington is forecast for Seafair weekend.
Don’t let Thursday’s clouds fool you. The National Weather
Service says the sun should break through Friday in Western
Washington with clear skies allowing temperatures to rise
into the 80s Saturday and Sunday.
“Great looking Seafair weekend,” says KING 5 meteorologist
Rich Marriott. “Saturday and Sunday look for sunshine and
warm with temperatures in the low to mid 80s.”
The NWS forecasts a high of 83 on Saturday, and a high of 85
on Sunday.
Conditions should be ideal for weekend hydroplane racing and
Blue Angels air shows at Lake Washington during Seattle’s
Seafair celebration.
Forecasters say skies are already clear in Eastern
Washington with temperatures in the 80s Thursday, climbing
into the 90s through the weekend into Monday.
