Blistering weather continuing on Sunday in Seattle
The Brief
Seattle temperatures will reach the upper 80s on Sunday, with some areas hitting the low 90s, prompting a Heat Advisory.
Cooling centers are available, and residents are advised to stay hydrated and avoid heat-related risks.
Relief from the heat is expected by mid-week, with temperatures cooling significantly by Tuesday or Wednesday.
SEATTLE - Temperatures will spike to the upper 80s this afternoon in Seattle. Some communities could wind up in the low 90s (e.g. the South Sound and the Cascade valleys like North Bend).
It could be another challenging day for people without air-conditioning. There are many cooling centers that are opening around the region, including libraries. Head here for more: List of local cooling centers
What's next
Tomorrow, temperatures cool to a mild range along the North Sound, Salish Sea, Strait and the coast. Temperatures also fall below 90 for the South Sound and many other backyards. Seattle and Tacoma could hold onto the mid 80s. While it'll be another uncomfortable day, the heat won't be as intense as today.
The National Weather Service has posted a Heat Advisory from 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Monday for many places across the I-5 corridor. There is a medium risk of heat-related illnesses.
Here are important safety reminders in the blistering heat:
Stay hydrated and slather on the sunscreen.
Don't walk your dogs in the hottest hours of the day. Try to do a walk in the evening or morning when the pavement isn't too hot for their paws.
Never leave people or pets in a car in this type of weather. It could easily be deadly.
If you're cooling off along the water, remember to always wear a life vest. Water temperatures remain cold year-round in Western Washington. Cold water shock is a real threat. Even strong swimmers can succumb.
Check on the beloved seniors in your life to make sure they're finding ways to stay cool.
If you don't have A/C at home, consider heading into a building with A/C at times in the coming days to give your system a break. This could include a mall, movie theater or library (if it's open).
Be extra vigilant to avoid starting fires.
Temperatures cool noticeably by the end of the workweek. Even by Tuesday or Wednesday, we'll experience marked relief from the heat we're enduring into tomorrow.
Please take good care of yourself and your loved ones today! Thanks so much for choosing FOX 13.
Sincerely,
Meteorologist Abby Acone

NOAA debuts artificial intelligence models for hurricane season
The Brief The National Weather Service is rehiring more than 100 employees after mass layoffs. This will be the first hurricane season NOAA uses AI models in forecasts. Experts say the technology could reduce forecasting errors—but humans still lead the effort. TAMPA, Fla. - The National Weather Service is testing artificial intelligence for the first time this hurricane season. What we know NOAA officials say AI models will now join the suite of tools meteorologists use to track storm development and intensity. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube What they're saying Wallace Hogsett, a science and operations officer for NOAA, told FOX 13 this marks a pivotal year: "We were looking at [AI models] a little last year, but this is the first year they will be a part of the suite of models that we're looking at." He explained that traditional models involve solving complicated equations, and take a lot of computing power, so AI can help speed it up, and decrease errors. READ: Hillsborough County seeks feedback to decide how to spend $700 million in hurricane recovery funds "AI models, on the other hand, are looking at 30, 40, 50 years of four-dimensional data and processing all of that information very quickly, recognizing patterns and producing a forecast," said Hogsett. "We're hoping that these models will help continue the trend of lower errors in both track and intensity forecasts, which will allow people to have a clearer picture of the risk that they and their families will be under." FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Paul Dellegatto agrees AI is promising — but not a replacement: "We look at this model, we look at that model, and now we look at AI models… it's simply another tool we use to forecast … I think AI is probably the future, but we're not there yet." What's next If forecasters find AI models reliable this season, NOAA says the tech could be permanently integrated into future forecasting operations.

(KNWA/KFTA) — The National Weather Service confirmed June 10 that seven tornadoes touched down in Sequoyah County and Van Buren on June 6. The NWS says a line of severe thunderstorms moved across Sequoyah County and into west-central Arkansas. Damaging winds occurred along virtually the length of Sequoyah County. According to the NWS, an EF1 tornado formed near Mc Key in Sequoyah County and moved southeast before turning to the northeast and dissipating northwest of Sallisaw. Wind speeds hit 95 mph. The NWS says damage appeared to be confined to trees. An EF1 tornado hit Sallisaw with wind speeds up to 95 mph. It formed between North Wheeler Avenue and South Road 4640, north of East Road 1060. It headed east-southeast, crossing East Road 1060 near South Road 4650. The tornado traveled to South Road 4670 where it dissipated. Damage was primarily done to trees. An EF1 tornado with wind speeds of up to 90 mph formed near Liberty in Sequoyah County. It formed in the western sections of the community. The tornado traveled near and just south of East Road 1060. Minor damage was done to the roof of the community's school, and a power pole was damaged. Many trees were damaged. Some trees were uprooted. Van Buren tornado from June 6 rated EF-1, 2 other brief tornadoes reported Van Buren was hit by three tornadoes. An EF0 tornado hit the city with wind speeds of 85 mph. The tornado developed just west of the Arkansas River south of Interstate 540 in an open area and traveled across the Arkansas River to the Port of Van Buren. The tornado damaged a fabric and metal storage shelter and the roof of a nearby building. It dissipated as it left the port area. An EF1 tornado with wind speeds between 95 mph and 105 mph touched down in southeast Van Buren near South 4th Street and Wood Street. The tornado moved rapidly northeast into the area just south of the Baptist Health-Van Buren complex. A commercial building was damaged, along with multiple homes on Ozier Street, Mulberry Street and South 19th Street. Winds blew in the walls that contained windows of two homes. One home lost its entire roof and the other lost a large portion of its roof. The tornado quickly dissipated, lasting a little more than one minute. Another EF0 tornado hit Van Buren with 85 mph wind speeds. It traveled near the Union Pacific Railroad line north of Kibler Road and west of Shibley Road.

Grove Surf and Coffee in St. Pete Beach reopens 9 months after Hurricane Helene
The Brief The Grove Surf and Coffee shop in St. Pete Beach has reopened nine months after Hurricane Helene. Helene flooded Grove Surf and Coffee with almost three feet of water. The shop is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Saturday. ST. PETERSBURG BEACH, Fla. - A popular coffee shop in St. Pete Beach reopened its doors on Tuesday nine months after Hurricane Helene. Helene flooded Grove Surf and Coffee with almost three feet of water. What they're saying "As so many others, we were not fully prepared for what we saw," Lindsey Gottschling, who owns the shop with her husband Peter, said. "We have been here for five years at this location, and it was our heart and soul, and to show up and see all the damage that had happened overnight was really shocking, devastating," she said. "So much of the pieces we'd collected and our displays and things we'd had custom-made and artifacts from family, and all these little pieces of us that were here were just gone and covered in water. So, it was really hard to see. It was a hard pill to swallow," Lindsey said. Dig deeper They weren't able to start rebuilding until the spring due to permit delays. "That was something that really hurt," Peter Gottschling said. "Spring is the most important season for us beach businesses. Alot of us survive or not based on how spring business is, so that was really hard. To miss the holidays was hard. To miss spring was really hard," he said. Local perspective They opened the Indian Rocks Beach location just three months before Helene. That shop got six inches of water and was able to reopen faster. They moved managers from the St. Pete Beach location there until Tuesday. Tuesday morning, they reopened the doors to customers. "I keep saying I'm feeling every emotion. I actually feel so much relief and excitement, but it's also just like the reality of the last eight and a half months has completely sunk in. I don't think it fully hit me until just now seeing all the faces that we've missed so much," Lindsey said. "We haven't done this in a long, long time," Peter said. READ: St. Pete residents struggle to rebuild ahead of hurricane season as HUD funding plans take shape They also had pop-ups over the past several months while the St. Pete Beach location was rebuilt. "It definitely gave us some motivation to keep working towards this, like, you know, people will come back and support us once we're able to get the store back," Peter said. "To see the people show up for us after all this, it just means that we did exactly what we wanted to do and accomplish that, and I think we are forever thankful and grateful," Lindsey said. "We can never pay everyone back for what they've given back to us. The people, the customers that showed up after the storm with coolers and shovels, you can't replace that, so we're really, really lucky," she said. They both said they consider customers, especially those who helped them in the aftermath of the storms, family. The shop is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
