Seattle weather: Heating up in Western Washington the next three days

Seattle weather: Sunny skies and temperatures warming up

Seattle – A ridge of high pressure building over the West Coast of the United States will warm temperatures into the 70s and even 80s in some spots by the weekend.

Temperatures will be about five degrees warmer on Thursday with mostly sunny skies from start to finish. The area will see high clouds at times today.

This strong ridge of high pressure will impact areas of the Southwest United States with potentially record-setting temperatures. For the Northwest, temps will be above average, but not excessively hot.

High pressure means warmer temps and sunshine for Seattle

Phoenix and Las Vegas will see temps over 110 degrees, about two to three weeks ahead of schedule. The California valleys could see temps over 100 degrees Thursday as well.

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.

Temperatures will warm into the 70s and 80s in Seattle this week
