PinPoint Alert: One more day of temps in high 80s, low 90s
PinPoint Alert Day One More Hot Day Cooler Week Happy Monday! It is still really warm this morning after record breaking heat yesterday. Seattle officially hit 90°, which breaks the old record of 87°. Most of the area is in the upper-50s and 60s this morning with more heat on the way this afternoon. The pattern hasn't changed much, with high pressure still in control. We will feel some cooler air at the coast, but barely inland. In fact, there is a Heat Advisory for a good portion of Western Washington until 10 p.m. We made today a KIRO 7 PinPoint Alert Day to make sure you are prepared for the heat. We'll be in the upper-80s and lower-90s from around Seattle south and in the upper-70s to lower-80s around Everett north. Temps at the coast will be in the 60s. Cooler ocean air will hit the coast and into the Southwest Interior of the state with some low clouds early and then afternoon sun. It will be cooler, but still an above average day in the upper-70s and lower-80s. The stronger onshore wind will increase into Wednesday, producing widespread low clouds in the morning and then afternoon sun with highs falling back into the low to mid-70s. The cooldown will continue for the rest of the week, with temps falling back into the upper-60s with partly to mostly cloudy skies. We do look mainly dry, but some morning drizzle could pop up in the low clouds. Over Father's Day weekend we'll see high temperatures mostly in the 60s, with increasing morning low cloudiness. Please remember, cold water shock is a serious risk in these early heat waves, with lake water temperatures in the upper 50s to mid-60s with colder water in rivers, the Salish Sea, Puget Sound, and Pacific beaches. Make sure everyone has a lifejacket, as falling in the cold water could cause immediate difficulty. -Nick Allard

Kayaker's body believed to have been found after vanishing at sea, WA cops say
A missing kayaker's body is believed to have been found in Washington weeks after he vanished at sea, deputies and news outlets reported. A body was discovered June 1 off Dungeness, KIRO reported from the Clallam County Sheriff's Office. Authorities said they believe they found Ty Coone, but they are waiting on dental comparisons before it's officially confirmed, the news outlet reported. Coone called 911 at about 3 p.m. May 13 to report himself drowning, McClatchy News reported. Deputies said they tracked his phone's GPS to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, north of Cline Spit County Park, where it's believed he had been fishing, deputies said. Rescuers, including the U.S. Coast Guard, used a thermal imaging drone to search for him, but only his kayak, life vest and paddle were found, deputies said. The search was called off the next day at about 10 a.m., deputies said. After his disappearance, Coone's family and friends held a memorial for him. They are also making a custom bench to put near the water where he went out on his kayak. 'Ty was one of a kind — full of life, laughter and love. From dirtbike tracks to bonfire nights, he brought people together and made every moment unforgettable,' his friend Bryson Morris said in a GoFundMe post. 'The way you smiled on your worst days made me stronger. I will always love coming home from work and seeing you in my driveway, ready to hang out. Thank you so much for matching my energy and being my best friend,' Elandon Washburn said in a Facebook post about Coone. The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates Washington from Canada, and it's part of the Salish Sea.

3 people fall to their deaths while rock climbing in Washington state
Three people fell to their deaths Sunday while rock climbing in Washington state, likely because of an equipment failure, authorities said. A fourth climber in their group survived the ordeal. The climbers were descending a steep gully in the northern section of Early Winter Spire, a pair of rock formations in the Cascades some 150 miles east of Seattle, the Okanogan County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. What caused the deadly fall at the popular climbing spot is still under investigation, but the sheriff said it appears the climbers' anchors failed as they were rappelling down the rock face. Rappelling is a technique climbers use to hoist themselves down a vertical drop, with a rope and belay. Okanogan County sheriff's deputies were among the search and rescue crews who responded to the climbing accident at around 11:30 a.m. local time on Sunday, after the surviving climber extricated himself from the ravine and contacted law enforcement. The others were pronounced dead at the site of their fall. Their bodies were recovered by a helicopter rescue team from nearby Snohomish County. The helicopter's flight through 16 miles of rugged, mountainous terrain took longer than usual — about an hour — because of harsh weather, CBS affiliate KIRO reported. Video of the aerial recovery shared by KIRO showed the helicopter navigating blustery winds and fog as it made its way toward the climbers. Authorities have not identified any of the climbers by name. The sheriff in Okanogan County said the three who died were 36, 47 and 63 years old, citing information from the coroner's office. They were originally from Renton, Washington. "Our thoughts are with the family members and friends of those involved," the sheriff's office said.
