Saturday will be the hottest day of the next week, with highs close to 80 degres in Seattle. Models are in good agreement moving in a weak system into the Pacific Northwest on Sunday. This will cool things down and bring in a few more clouds to start next week. There will be a chance of light showers in the mountains, but the lowlands will likely stay dry.
