  "textContent": "After a cool, wet March, we are finally getting some warm spring days.\n\nWarm and dry enough so that you will be comfortable without a jacket. Highs reaching the upper 60s and some sun.\n\nPerfect weather for that bike ride, hike, gardening, or simply a pleasant talk.\n\nThe National Weather Service National Blend of Models (their most skillful product) is going for 62F on Saturday, 65F on Sunday, and nearly 70F on Sunday in Seattle, before cooling down on Tuesday.\n\nEastern Washington will be considerably warmer, reaching nearly 80F in the Tri-Cities on Monday.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo provide more detail, here are forecast temperatures for 5 PM Sunday afternoon from the UW high-resolution model.\n\n\n\n\nUpper 60s and 70s from southern Puget Sound to Portland, and also warm in the lower Columbia Valley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy Monday afternoon at the same time, western Washington and Oregon have cooled a bit, while the Columbia Valley has warmed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll this warming is associated with a transient upper-level ridge of high pressure that will build over the area this week (see below, for 500 hPa...about 18,000 ft, red indicates high pressure).\n\n\n\n\nBy Tuesday morning, the high pressure retreats westward and a trough of lower pressure (blue colors) passes to our north, bringing the cool down.\n\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy.\n\n\n\n\n\n",
