West Seattle Weather Watch: Cooldown on the way

Just after sunset Sunday, smoke from the Mt. Hopper forest fire curved gently over the southern Olympics – a shadow of its show the night before. Still, it was almost a symbolic sight after another record-setting-heat day in our area – 96 degrees was the high at Sea-Tac Airport, according to this update from the Seattle Times (WSB partner), which also reports that meteorologists do not expect tomorrow’s record to fall – 98 degrees, in 1967 – tomorrow’s more likely to be in the low 90s. And after that, it’ll start moving back toward normal, according to the newest forecast.

    Is their an “offical” West Seattle weather station? It is always several degrees cooler there than Seatac.

      K91S always shows up on the NWS list but it doesn’t do temp – wind speed seems to be its main function. It’s at Alki Point. There are a few local schools that have stations feeding sites like WeatherBug.

Sorry, comment time is over.
