We should add in here that Eastern Washington hit some crazy high temperatures Sunday as well. Pasco hit 112 degrees! Yakima hit 109, 107 in Walla Walla and Wenatchee, 106 in Ellensburg and Moses Lake, and even 102 in Spokane and 101 in Pullman.
It's Almost Over!
But, if you're aching to get temperatures at least back under 90, we have some good news. Sunday was the last of the 90+ days for a while.
This strong ridge of high pressure is finally starting to break down Monday, allowing the air mass to cool a little bit. Still pretty toasty Monday though, with highs in the upper 80s expected.
We'll see even further cooling for Tuesday as the marine flow almost gets back to normal. We might even see -- gasp! -- some morning clouds! They won't last long though and another sunny day on tap, but temperatures should top out around 80.
80 degrees should be about the norm through the middle of the week, before cooling back into the 70s just in time for the weekend.
Maybe then we'll truly remember what a "climate average" is :)
