If you enjoyed the record-breaking heat over the weekend, just wait until later this week.

Though temperatures dropped dramatically between Saturday and Sunday, University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences Professor Cliff Mass says we can expect another round of hot days as we head into next weekend.

“The latest numerical forecasts suggest an even stronger ridge of high pressure building mid to late week,” Mass writes . Temperatures will once again climb into the 80s and 90s.

says temperatures will rise to the high 70s Tuesday. Temps will jump to as high as 88 degrees on Thursday and stay in the mid-80s during the day through Friday.

But it doesn’t appear that the coming heat wave will be nearly as drastic as last weekend. The National Weather Service reports the high in Seattle and SeaTac was 95 degrees on Friday, breaking the record for Aug. 19 — the old record was 89 set in 2015. Bellingham, Forks, Hoquiam, and Olympia broke records as well.

The Weather Service reports a high of 91 in SeaTac on Aug. 20.

By this coming Saturday, temperatures are expected to drop back down to the mid- to high-70s and continue to cool through Sunday.

Though temperatures are dropping, a lack of moisture in Washington is making fire danger high.

Three blazes in the Spokane area sent families rushing to safety. The Spokesman-Review reports homes caught fire in the Beacson Hill area of Spokane, as well as areas near Spangle and north of Davenport. The largest of the fires began when a power line came down in a field near Spangle, south of Spokane. The blaze chewed through almost four square miles as it raced across the parched landscape, consuming wheat stubble, brush and trees 鈥 and a few homes.
