Want coastal Doppler? Let the government know! Send a letter to Senator Cantwell expressing your support and requesting funding.


Weather To Expect:
Mostly sunny with temperatures once again soaring into the 80s on this Independence Day. A Red Flag Warning remains in effect for all of Western Washington through midnight Sunday night. This means the fire danger is elevated with the dry and warm conditions we are experiencing.

Skies will stay clear tonight with temperatures in the low 70s and upper 60s around 10:00 pm when the fireworks will be going off. Sunday will stay mostly sunny before clouds start increasing during the afternoon. The chance is there for some late afternoon and evening thunderstorms over the mountains and east of the Cascades. Heading into next week we will be returning to much cooler and cloudier weather. High temperatures will be in the low 70s and upper 60s early next week with showers around the area.
