Seattle weather: Smoky skies in the 90s

Hi everyone from the Fox 13 Weather Center. I'm meteorologist Ilona McCauley. We are tracking some hot and hazy conditions here in the coming days. You might have noticed a little haze outside here in parts of western Washington as you stepped outdoors today. We've been largely spared from that smoke but it is starting to make its way into parts of western Washington now thanks to those offshore flow winds. And in addition to the fires that are burning in the central and eastern part of the state. We've also got some smoke coming in from fires in British Columbia. This is going to be the most impactful in Skagit and Whatcom County. Much stronger hazy skies there expected as we get into tomorrow with air quality alerts posted there as well. We are going to turn up the heat and temperatures are going to be below records but not too far. In fact we're going to be forecasting a high on Wednesday of 92. The record on that date was 96 degrees. We're going start to see a little bit of a break in those temperatures by Thursday 85. Far off of the record luckily that was 99 back in 1991. The heat advisory goes into effect tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. and it's going to stay with us all the way through late night on Wednesday at 11 p.m. We're not going to see unfortunately a huge drop in those overnight temperatures. So sleeping in the overnight hours will be uncomfortable as well. We're only looking for lows in the 60s so not not too much of some relief there. A forecast for that future cast we do have a few clouds that have been pushing in today. Believe it or not this is coming from a tropical system way down south. We will start to see those higher level clouds breaking just a bit. Offshore flow winds will continue well on into Tuesday and Wednesday. Those will be the two hottest days of the stretch and then we're going start to see those winds flip around by the time we get into Wednesday evening and that will bring in some additional monsoonal moisture where we could be talking about an isolated thunderstorm once again for some of those higher elevations up in the cascade ranges and then back off to the east once again. Tonight a mild overnight for us 62 degrees in Seattle 60 in Shelton. Upper 50s in Bremerton will be at 60 degrees in Everett. Highs tomorrow again you can see pretty toasty. We're going to see 90 degrees in Seattle easily looking for some mid 90s in some locations around the foothills. It could be one of the warmest days we've seen so far this year in some spots. 88 in Olympia, 88 in Centralia will be at 93 degrees in Auburn. How about low 90s as well in Federal Way with 91 degrees there. Monroe topping out in the low 90s as well. Some relief of course as you get a little closer to the area waterways with temperatures there in the 70s and then we're going to be even nearing 80 degrees in a lot of spots around the coastal regions. Your seven-day forecast will show after the hot two days we are going to see that chance for thunderstorms on Thursday. Finally those temperatures returning a little closer to average for this time of year for the upcoming weekend with some drier skies.
