The next week in Western Washington will be mostly pleasant, with a couple of hotter than average days on Monday and Tuesday. This is seen in the European model forecast for Tuesday, expected to be the hottest day for the entire region.
This forecast is a tad cool for the Lowlands. Expect Tuesday’s highs in the lowlands to be in the low 80s (mid 80s for Tacoma southward). Eastern Washington will be sweltering, in the mid 90s to low 100s, with some places reaching the mid 100s. SW WA and the Willamette Valley will reach the mid 80s to low 90s. The coast will be much cooler, with highs only reaching the upper 60s at the ocean beaches.
Before the brief heat wave, we have some more pleasant weather ahead. Take a look at the HRRR forecast for Saturday. A pleasant, average summer day is expected. (Note that high temperatures for some cities may be cooler due to their proximity to the water).
Western Washington is generally in the low to mid 70s, while Eastern Washington reaches the mid 80s to low 90s. The coast and mountains are quite cool, in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Over the next 6-10 days, temperatures will be just above average for Washington, as seen in the NWS Climate Prediction Center outlook (from Pivotal Weather) below.
This generally means that there won’t be a significant heat wave, and that temperatures may be a tad above normal for July 14-18. Overall, a normal pattern for summer in Western Washington.
