Wednesday On Track To Be Hottest Day Yet Of 2021: WA Weather
Forecasters say the high could push all the way past 60 - practically sweltering if you ask us.
WASHINGTON — It's about to be so hot in the Puget Sound that you might almost consider cranking the AC.
You probably won't need to, but you might think about it.
That's because Wednesday is set to be the warmest day of the year yet for the Puget Sound with a whopping 61 degree high — possibly even higher in some places across the interior. If you're new to the PNW that may not seem like much, but it is warmer than we've seen yet in 2021, and a sign that spring is finally around the corner.

So, about tomorrow.... Odds looking good for it to be our warmest day of the year thus far in Seattle. Previous high mark so far was 60 back on March 13. #wawx pic.twitter.com/t92iWQItl5

This midweek break in the weather will afford us some great mountain views as temperatures warm to around 60 tomorrow for areas from Seattle southward. Here's a view looking toward the Olympics from Seattle's Carkeek Park yesterday. #wawx pic.twitter.com/1Pglek8n79

While the highest temperature is expected Wednesday, the warm, dry weather is expected to stick around through Thursday. Friday more cloud cover will move in, but forecasters say it should remain "generally average" for the season.
Unfortunately, things go south just as soon as the weekend rolls around. That's when an upper level trough is expected to push into the region, bringing in rain and cooler conditions that will linger through at least the start of the next work week.
In other words: soak up that sun while you can.
