A heat wave is forecast for Western Washington beginning Friday with record heat expected on Sunday.
We enjoyed a pleasant day with near normal afternoon highs and sunny skies across Western Washington before the heat settles in during the coming days. A ridge of high pressure will move over the Pacific Northwest over the next few days, turning up the heat in our area. The 4th of July looks nice, with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s. Evening skies will be nice a clear for the fireworks displays around town.

The risk of heat-related illnesses will be elevated this weekend, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water and finding ways to stay cool.Many people will be flocking to our area waterways this weekend for the 4th and as temperatures heat up this weekend.
