We had a scorcher today! Highs ended up in the upper 90s up and down the I-5 corridor this afternoon.

For the next several days, our temperatures slowly and steadily drop each day until we find ourselves down to the upper 70s by Monday. The cooldown will be gradual. Right now I’m thinking it goes something like this:

Relief from the heat comes slowly late tonight with temperatures expected to cool off to around 58° come early Thursday morning. Temperatures cool off much quicker in the evenings to follow with lows ranging between 52 to 57° through next Wednesday. Plenty of cool fresh air each night beginning Thursday evening! 🙂

Lastly, we could even see a few showers Monday for areas west of the Cascades. Would certainly feel refreshing, and it would help keep the fire risk down at least temporarily.

Looking out beyond next Wednesday, it appears our usual summertime weather will continue to dominate the region. This means dry/mostly dry weather, lots of sunshine, and highs primarily in the 80s to low 90s.

Take care, and stay safe out there!
