A heat wave is on its way to Western Washington

Western Washington could see high temperatures near 90 by Sunday.

The heat is expected to last through Aug. 15.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Dev McMillian advises people to limit time outdoors and to check on potentially vulnerable people, including older adults.

Still, this heat wave won't be as bad as past events.

"We're not expecting to see anything along the lines of what we saw in June of 2021," McMillian said, referring to the deadly heat dome that brought a 108-degree day to Seattle. "We're going to see temperatures well below that threshold, thankfully."

As of Monday, Seattle was on day 47 of hitting at least 70 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

That streak will continue Tuesday with highs in the upper 70s and cloudy conditions.
