OK, so summer has a few more than 5 seconds left, but its down to hours now. Considering it's going to be the driest and nearly the hottest on record in Seattle, clouds and cool weather fans will not be sad to see it go.

Sun fans will get a little bit of time to squeeze out some sunshine though this evening that will transition into a partly cloudy night with lows in the 40s.

Friday should see some patchy morning fog then sunshine with highs in the mid 60s. We'll copy that forecast into Saturday as well.

Sunday will be a little cloudier as a weather system heads into British Columbia. Forecast models are still not sure how many of those showers will sneak into the Washington side of the border, but it looks pretty dry from Seattle south. Those of you north of Seattle do have a risk of showers on Sunday with greater chances the closer you are to Canada. Highs will be in the mid-upper 60s.

It looks pretty pleasant ti kick off next week as a ridge of high pressure builds in for some morning fog then sunshine with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s by midweek. Summer will be officially over, but a few summer-esque days are apparently still on the board.
