Photos: Hot and Hazy in Western Washington

Posted

A combination of high temperatures and smoke from wildfires in British Columbia  and the Schneider Springs Fire, northwest of Naches, is making the outdoors an unfriendly place this weekend. Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s Saturday before dropping down to high in the mid-70s on Monday and Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. As for the smoke: “The good news is that this is likely to be a short-lived exposure,”  Washington Smoke Information posted on its blog. “A cold front arriving Sunday should blow all of this smoke out, and air quality should begin improving Saturday even before the full front arrives.”
