Expect hot weather this weekend

The first really hot day will be Saturday or Sunday. At this time models predict the hot weather could last into Wednesday or beyond.

Unlike many previous hot spells... this one could also affect the coast and other places near the water. Also it is rare to have many hot days in a row in western Washington... but this heat wave could last several days.

Western Washington is having a dry Summer... and no rain is in the forecast for the next week or so. Fire danger will increase during the hot weather. There is also a risk of air stagnation during this period.
