Thanks to Erin for the view of what she described as the “super spectacular sunset” (seen from Upper Fauntleroy). It ended another day with a high temperature past 90 – but tomorrow will be a lot closer to 80, according to the newest forecast, which says there’s even a chance of an overnight thunderstorm. The heat advisory that had been in effect since noon Saturday expired at 8 tonight and wasn’t renewed. Tomorrow is expected to start with low clouds/fog before it clears off and gets warm but not hot, with a high expected mid-70s to low 80s. (Added – Another colorful sunset view, this one from Debra Salazar Herbst:)
ADDED OVERNIGHT: There’s a discussion in the comment section about lights in the sky seen during the 10 pm hour. We also received a few notes, like this one from Tamora:
My husband and I saw 14 orange, round, bright, moving objects in the sky tonight from our street outside our house in West Seattle. They appeared 1 at a time, below the big dipper, from the west, flying just beyond the North Star toward the east before they faded and disappeared from view. They were orange, and brighter than the stars. I first saw 2 at the same time, then 1 at a time flew in a similar path. They appeared more frequently, until about the 10th, then there was more lag time between them. For the last few, there was a couple of minutes between their appearances, until they stopped appearing.
Sounds a lot like “sky lanterns,” often launched to celebrate a special occasion – if you know of anyone who was launching them in West Seattle last night, let us know so the mystery can be solved!
