A weak front cruising through the region is giving us a few coastal showers and some light sprinkles this morning along the I-5 corridor cities. Still I expect some nice sunshine this afternoon. Another front looks to drop from the Gulf of Alaska on Wednesday. A big weekend warm-up is looking very likely.

TODAY we'll see clouds to sun. High temps all in the 70s by the afternoon. Tonight clouds return and overnight lows in the 50s.

TOMORROW starts out nice, but by the evening clouds return with a chance of showers after the evening commute. High temps mid 70s.

WEDNESDAY looks like our wettest day of the week. Highs near 70. On/off showers and possible pop up t-storms in the afternoon.

THE REST OF THE WEEK looks dry and warmer. The pattern of morning clouds and afternoon sun continues for THURSDAY with temps in the mid 70s. FRIDAY into the upper 70s for Seattle and low 80s for Portland. THE WEEKEND looks even warmer, pretty much all sunshine. Around Seattle/Puget Sound we'll see 80-85 for both days of the weekend. We'll be around 90 for Stumptown.
