Warmth Continues Sunday, Gradual Cooldown Ahead

Saturday was the warmest day of 2021 and the warmest since last September. High temperatures are below.


Area high temperatures peaked at 75-85 degrees, including a record-setting 81 degrees at SeaTac Airport.

It was also extremely dry around Puget Sound today, with very low relative humidity. Saturday’s minimum values are below.


Humidity values dropped to 10-25%, higher near water. This was a very dry day, one of the driest in the past year.

Quick announcement: Due to high temperatures, avalanche danger is high in the Cascades, with a high threat of large avalanches. The Northwest Avalanche Center has issued an Avalanche Warning for the Cascades (shown below).


The warmth will continue on Sunday, with highs similar to Saturday. The Puyallup forecast from Weather Underground is below.


There will be an increase in high clouds on Sunday and Monday, and high temperatures remain in the 70s through Wednesday. Temperatures decrease into the mid-upper 60s by the end of the week. Rain looks to make a return by next weekend.

Stay safe and enjoy the sun! This is our warmest April weather in a few years!
