Warm weather, highs almost to 80 in Seattle by Tuesday
SEATTLE - After highs only reached the 50s in many spots on Saturday afternoon, we're forecasting a gradual warm-up. In fact, temperatures could warm to almost 80 degrees in Seattle on Tuesday.For today, any spotty clouds will lift – giving way to brilliant, sparkling blue skies and sunshine. Highs this afternoon will boost to above average, reaching the low 60s for many.
Temperatures continue to climb on Monday as highs reach almost 70 degrees. By Tuesday, Seattle could approach 80 degrees. Many outlying communities could reach 80 (potentially including communities like North Bend, Issaquah, Olympia and Centralia).
Important reminder: water temperatures are dangerously cold. Though the air is warming up, rivers, creeks, streams and lakes are still frigid enough to produce cold water shock – possibly leading to drownings. Please wear a life vest at all times around the water.As a trough of low pressure approaches, Wednesday will be cooler and cloudier with mountain showers.
Temperatures are forecast to rebound to the low 70s on Friday and Saturday.
Take good care, Meteorologist Abby Acone

Lake Bonny residents brace for new hurricane season after Milton's devastating flooding
The Brief The flood water remained in neighborhoods for nearly a month, destroying homes and lives. Earlier this year, residents created a petition calling for an independent investigation into flooding after Milton. A watershed study is being done to identify possible flooding sources and potential flood relief options. LAKELAND, Fla. - Lake Bonny residents are gearing up for another hurricane season, nearly nine months after Hurricane Milton caused devastating flooding. What they're saying Nicki Aldahonda-Ramirez has made progress rebuilding her home on Honey Tree Lane, but it's still under mid-construction. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube "It is nice to have an actual bathroom that's completed," she said. "All of the walls are new. The floors are new." In the middle of the night during Milton, she, her roommate and their dogs had to escape out the front window after water from Lake Bonny, five feet high, rushed inside. "I have night terrors now that the water's coming in," said Aldahonda-Ramirez. "I scream at night when I'm asleep." The backstory The flooding lasted for weeks until state officials and the Army Corps of Engineers brought in industrial pumps to help move water into Lake Parker. Earlier this year, frustrated residents created a petition calling for an independent investigation into the flooding and how the city, Polk County, and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFTMD) plan to prevent it from happening again. Homeowners also demanded disclosure of drainage system maintenance records, and long-term mitigation efforts, including the formation of a citizen oversight committee. "We're asking for [the city] to have a more open line of communication, not just with us, but with Polk County and SWFTMD, because everybody has to work collaboratively for this to work," said Aldahonda-Ramirez. Additionally, neighbors are asking the city for a dedicated phone number for them to report when water levels get too high and for city officials to communicate when flooding is expected. The other side In regard to their concerns, city spokesperson, Kevin Cook, declined FOX 13's request for an interview. Big picture view A positive of this nightmare, Aldahonda-Ramirez says, is that her neighbors have become stronger than the storm. "The neighborhood came together. Who has this or that? I have toilets and electricity. We went from not knowing each other just by going past and waving to actually coming together as one," she said. What's next A watershed study is being done to identify possible flooding sources and potential flood relief options. Cook said it's now expected to be completed by August.

'All about the Lightning' podcast hosted by UF/IFAS educators
The Brief Two educators with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) hosted a podcast episode called "All About Lightning." Stats show Florida leads the nation in lightning-related fatalities from 2015-2024. TAMPA, Fla. - Two educators with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) hosted a podcast episode called "All About Lightning." "We know that a big portion of our audience are people that either frequently vacation here or just are visiting and might not be familiar with our kind of pop-up storms and systems that we have here," UF/IFAS' Lara Milligan told FOX 13. READ: Lightning likely sparks Clearwater house fire Local perspective Over the weekend, Clearwater firefighters responded to a house fire on Murray Ave. According to the preliminary investigation, a lightning strike to the rear deck of the property may have sparked the fire. "There are some days in the afternoons that, in just one small area, you can have over a thousand lightning strikes," FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto said. "And those lightning strikes are typically hitting something: trees, homes, cars, whatnot." What to Know UF/IFAS Extension natural resources agents Shannon Carnevale and Lara Milligan recorded the podcast episode. During the podcast episode, the pair walks listeners through the science behind lightning and shares safety tips for residents and visitors alike. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube "If you're out camping or hiking or if you're out on the water in a boat, you notice that change in wind, that drop in temperature, you look up, you see a big fluffy cloud that's starting to turn dark. It is time to head inside," Carnevale said on "All About Lightning." To listen to the podcast episode, click here. By the numbers Florida leads the nation with 50 lightning-related deaths from 2015-2024, according to the Lightning Safety Council. "You just can't mess around in a state that almost every single day in the summer has lightning strikes all over the place," Dellegatto said. "So it's, I think, one of my number one concerns as a meteorologist." According to UF/IFAS, 63% of lightning casualties happen during leisure activities. Additionally, lightning caused about $1.2 billion worth of damage in 2023, according to research done by UF/IFAS.
