Weathermen started summer on June 1, the calendar started summer on June 21, and folklore started summer on July 5.
Regardless, the past six weeks or so have been just about perfect. Yes, we’ve had a few cloudbursts here and there to wash things down, but overall a very nice summer so far. Perfect weather will continue all week with the usual ups and downs, with sunny skies and invasions of morning clouds. Temperatures will swing from warm today to hot Monday to cooler Tuesday through Thursday.
Next weekend looks clear, sunny and warm. At the coast the next few days there could be some drizzle and even a stray shower or two, especially on the Washington coast. Not all that bad, just lots of clouds. Also, thunder could erupt over the Cascades at times.
The Fourth of July had perfect weather for celebrating our Independence: a few clouds but pleasant temperatures even after sundown.
