Summer returns with a vengeance

EVERETT — With last week’s rain in the rear-view mirror, above average temperatures have returned for Snohomish County and western Washington.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory from 11 a.m. Friday until 5 p.m. Tuesday evening for the much of the lowlands of western Snohomish County. For the next five days or more, temperatures are expected to range from the mid 80s to possibly the low 90s.

For people who live in Monroe, Granite Falls or Darrington, the weather service issued an extreme heat warning for daytime temperatures that could reach into the upper 90s.

“It’s above normal, for sure,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Kirby Cook on Thursday. “Typically, climatologically, our warmest period of the year is late July into the first two weeks of August.”
