Sweltering weather in store for Seattle this week

SEATTLE Today’s forecast will feature beautifully mild and pleasant weather. While we track cooler and slightly damp conditions on Memorial Day, a big warmup will follow on Wednesday.

Highs this afternoon will reach the upper 60s to the low 70s. High-level clouds this afternoon will give way to the filtered sunshine effect.

There could be showers developing along the coast by late tonight. We can’t even rule out some isolated thunderstorms overnight along and east of the spine of the Cascade mountains.

Monday morning will be rather cloudy and a bit drippy. Rain will be most persistent overnight along the coast and Olympic Peninsula with fewer showers along the I-5 corridor. There’s a tiny chance of lightning tomorrow, but most backyards will experience plain old rain.

Sunshine will reappear Monday afternoon as showers retreat to the Cascades during the second half of Memorial Day.

Tuesday will be lovely with partly sunny skies and highs rebounding to the mid 70s.
