OVER THE SOUTH INTERIOR OF WESTERN WASHINGTON ON WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES SOUTH AND WEST OF THE OLYMPICS AND IN THE SOUTH
INTERIOR WILL LIKELY REACH 90 DEGREES LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

TO THE REST OF WESTERN WASHINGTON. THE ONLY PLACES TO ESCAPE
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 80S OR 90S WILL BE NEAR THE WATER IN
THE NORTH INTERIOR AND ON THE IMMEDIATE PACIFIC BEACHES. MANY
LOCATIONS FROM SEATTLE SOUTHWARD IN THE INTERIOR WILL SEE
TEMPERATURES RISE WELL INTO THE 90S ON THURSDAY. MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND OF THE
SEATTLE METRO AREA WILL REMAIN WARM...IN THE MID 60S.
