SEATTLE—
You know the media likes to name our weather events. So, this time we asked you to name our heat wave. You gave us a lot of input. And voted on the final four.The winner - Quick Fry in July.
Washington's first heat wave of the summer is setting high temperature records in Seattle and on the coast. Thursday is expected to be the hottest day in 343 days.
We set a record Wednesday with a temperature of 89 at 4pm. The old record was 88.
To set a record on Thursday, we have to beat 87 degrees.
Friday, we'll come close to a record. The hottest temperature on record is 91.
Technically this is not a heat wave. By definition, aheat wave is 3 consecutive days of 15 degrees above normal. We will be very close to that but not quite.
A great weekend is expected ahead, with highs near 83. Not as hot but more reasonable. ENJOY.
