Warm Temperatures Return with Breezy Winds Sticking Around

Warm temperatures set to return today through Tuesday with highs reaching the 80s and 90s. By midweek, cooler weather from a cold front will lower temperatures back to seasonal averages. Dry conditions are anticipated in the region with breezy winds continuing through the week.

Warm temperatures are making a comeback this week, with breezy conditions expected to stick around. From today through Tuesday, a low-pressure system situated near Montana and Idaho is set to influence the local weather. As this system moves away, the return to summer heat is anticipated, with temperatures climbing back into the 80s and 90s. Interestingly, these conditions are paired with dry atmospheres expected over the same period, keeping it comfortable for outdoor activities.

As the week progresses, particularly from Wednesday to Sunday, a shift toward more typical seasonal temperatures is projected. Initially, the midweek will bring an open trough that might increase winds across the forecast area and, of course, cooler temperatures as a cold front sweeps through. Further along, this progressive weather pattern will maintain breezy conditions, particularly through the Cascade Gaps, though temperatures will likely peak in the upper 70s to mid-80s, owing to the lack of significant high-pressure systems or warm air advection.

For those specifically wondering about local forecasts, in the Tri-Cities area, high temperatures will reach 87°F on Monday and surge to a high of 94°F Tuesday before slightly cooling to 88°F Wednesday. Following that, temperatures will hover between the mid-80s and low 90s until Sunday, when it could hit 95°F. In Yakima, Monday will show highs around 86°F with Tuesday bringing it to 90°F, then it gradually cools, hitting 85°F by Wednesday. By the weekend, expect temperatures in the low to mid-90s on Sunday.

Here’s a quick peek at the upcoming highs and lows:
