After one of the chillier Aprils in a long time, cold showers will take a break and the weather will warm up starting mid-week, according to the National Weather Service.
Highs should reach the 60s and possibly lower 70s in spots across the region starting on Wednesday, April 26.
Experts say that temps will warm a few degrees further on Thursday into the upper 60s to low 70s.
Highs may even hit 75 or more(!) on Friday and Saturday, which are expected to be the warmest days.
“Although some uncertainty exists in exactly how warm temperatures are Friday, most will be in the 70s, with low 80s possible especially near the Cascade Foothills and away from the water with the offshore flow,” NOAA said in its forecast discussion.
