Cooldown Then Possibility of Major Heat

Monday was the warmest day of 2020, with highs in the upper 80s around Puget Sound. 

Today has been a warm day as well, with highs in the low 80s. However, that is about to change. 

Marine air is moving into Western Washington, and it will become cloudy overnight. 

Each day Wednesday through Friday will start cloudy and become partly sunny. Highs will be 70-75 degrees, a big change from the sunny & warm weather that has dominated the past few days. Saturday will begin with clouds, then sun will prevail for the next few days after.

Here’s a graphic from NWS Seattle showing the expected weather for the next 5 days. 


After Saturday...heat builds again. The accurate weather.com forecast for Puyallup shows highs of 95 and 92 degrees on Monday and Tuesday...by far the warmest days of 2020. 


As a rule of thumb, subtract 2-4 degrees from the temperature if you live outside the valley. Regardless, 90+ degrees in our area isn’t too comfortable. 

Stay tuned for updates on the potential heat!
