Like it warmer? We should nudge into the low 80s for the final day of the month next Friday. Next week, we'll keep 'wonderful on repeat,' with a series of mostly sunny days and highs in the just-right 70s. Sunday will be warmer and brighter, with highs in the upper 70s to wrap up the first weekend of summer. Regardless, hikers should still prepare for quickly changing weather conditions. There will still be a few thunderstorms over the Cascades, but they shouldn't be nearly as strong or numerous as the day before. Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weatherreports, maps & tropical weather conditions for the Seattle area. Sunshine and highs in the lower 70s will make for a cooler but comfortable day for enjoying Bridge Blast in Bremerton or the Pride celebrations on Capitol Hill. However, the summer sun is easily strong enough to burn through the low overcast, and we should clear out nicely by late morning. We'll wake up to mainly cloudy skies on Saturday in the Puget Sound basin thanks to the late June marine push. Meanwhile, a hefty marine layer is strengthening at the coast, and will surge inland overnight on a steady southwesterly seabreeze. A series of rare SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS were issued for communities including Eatonville and Electron, as radar indicated these storms were capable of producing nickel-sized hail and downbursts of up to 60 mph! The storms lost their fuel as we lost our daytime heating, and simmered down after dark. Sun shining around the Sound brought temps up to either side of 80 as we wrapped the first work week of summer, but in the foothills, thunderheads grew to over 35,000' (high cells by Western Washington standards!) in the sky, dropping pea-sized hail, heavy rain, gusty winds, and hundreds of lightning strikes.

NWS Local 3-Month Temperature Outlook Select a location plotted on the map to view the local outlook. Last Updated: Climate Prediction Resources The rest of the state has equal chances of below, equal to, or above normal JAS precipitation. There are higher chances of below normal JAS precipitation for western and north central WA. The odds are relatively high for the 3-month period and are between 50 and 60% on the three-tiered scale for a majority of the state. ![]() The three-month outlook for July through September (JAS) is indicating higher chances of above normal temperatures across Washington State. July precipitation is also uncertain, with equal chances (i.e., 33.3% chance of each of the three outcomes) of below, equal to, or above normal precipitation across the whole state. The remainder of the state has equal chances of below, equal to, or above normal temperatures. The CPC one month temperature outlook for July has increased chances of above normal temperatures for western WA. What does this mean for Washington in the coming months? This is taken into account in the seasonal outlooks below, which also take into consideration the long-term trends and seasonal forecast model output. While El Niño impacts are strongest during the winter, El Niño conditions now do increase our chances of a warmer than normal summer. ENSO models have the odds of El Niño persisting through next winter (December-January-February) at 96%, and the chances that this will be at least a “moderate” strength event are 84% ( ENSO blog). There has been continued warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, and the atmosphere is now reflecting weak El Niño conditions. The Climate Prediction Center issued an El Niño Advisory on June 8, indicating that El Niño conditions are currently present in the tropical equatorial Pacific Ocean.
