Normandy Park-based @SeattleWXGuy says that – after a surprisingly cool and wet June-uary – confidence in a Pacific Northwest heat wave is increasing.
Almost just in time for summer, which officially begins at 2:13 a.m. on Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
Snyder is a resident who is also known as @SeattleWXGuy. He says that once the cooling trough moves out of the region, summer weather may finally begin.
A high of 82 is predicted for this coming Saturday, June 25, 2022, with the “real scorcher” predicted for Sunday, June 26 with highs in the mid to upper 80s or perhaps even the 90s.
Snyder works as an Alaska Airlines Aviation Weather guy/Flight Control, and is a longtime METAR instructor, Aviation Instructor, as well as former National Weather Service behind-the-scenes guy.

The 12z ECMWF is a classic example of the subtleties of Thermal Trough interactions that we will get to experience this weekend into early next week. Excellent weather watching for those interested. Stay tuned for examples. pic.twitter.com/MUxN6rjNxU— Michael Snyder (@SeattleWXGuy) June 20, 2022

This weekend is top notch weather model watching if u are into small scale features such as subtle pressure gradients that determine the strength of our subtle Thermal troughs. Small differences = big changes in temperatures for many locations. pic.twitter.com/2unUI4GCEZ— Michael Snyder (@SeattleWXGuy) June 20, 2022
Before the heat dome of last year the record highs for June 26,27th were 90,92. The GFS showing temps near 90 for Sunday/Monday.
