News about heat wave, Pacific Northwest

Temps in much of the region are well into the 80s, with a few spots at 90. Try to enjoy it if you like warmth, because it looks like it'll be nearly a week before its even close to this warm again. And if you don't enjoy it, just wait, it'll be much cooler over the next few days.

Warmest weather of the year so far still on track Friday. Cooler coast and slight cooler interior Saturday. Even with the warm temperatures, area waters are still cold. Current water temperatures, Lake Washington 54°, Lake Sammamish 56°, Puget Sound lower 50s. Be safe! #wawx pic.twitter.com/cbG0TJqJOx

It's been 236 days since Seattle last reached 80° F. Not that I was counting or anything. Anyway... You've only got a couple more days to wait...or less for those of you near the coast. And, remember, the water is still plenty cold around here. So, be safe out there. #wawx pic.twitter.com/ol8nwsh3vH
