Seattle weather: Strong coastal winds, record warm temperatures

Today we're drying out. That water is going to be evaporated, especially as we get into the afternoon. It's going to be a fantastic day. Get outside, do something, because it's going to be around 65 degrees. That would be a record-tying day if we hit 65 today. Clouds are offshore. Here inland, we are looking dry around the Puget Sound area. There are a few showers out along the coast. Those will ease up as the day goes on. But current temperatures right now are into the 50s. For most spots, look at Seattle at 57 already. We're already above our average high temperature for the day. Check out Mount Vernon at 65. We're into the mid-60s up in Bellingham as well, feeling very mild but also gusty up that direction. La Push just had a 36-mile-an-hour gust. It's fairly calm around the central and south sound. North sound locations, Whidbey Island with a 40-mile-an-hour gust. Along the coast and up to the north is where we have a wind advisory in effect through 7 o'clock tonight. Alright, here's your outdoor report. Today is the day to get outside and do something. A great one, especially for the Central and South Sound. It's going to be a warm afternoon for yard work. Get that done today or tomorrow. It'll be great. It's staying dry today, staying dry tomorrow as well. You'll see that here with the futurecast. There will be continued showers out along the coastline, especially up near Forks and Neah Bay. But for those of us around the Puget Sound area, we're mainly dry. Thursday, that system backs off even more, hangs out offshore over the water. So we're going to be looking at another dry day for your Thursday. Looking good. Mid 60s today. Today will be our warmest day coming up over the course of the next week. Tomorrow will remain in the 60s along with Friday. But Friday is also the reintroduction of some rain back into the forecast. It'll be breezy at times Friday, Saturday and Sunday with our wettest day turning out to be Sunday.
