Seattle to experience a blast of summery weather in late September

The calendar officially says fall, but Mother Nature is still serving up summery weather in Seattle. Highs on Tuesday will soar to almost 80 degrees!

This morning felt like autumn with low-hanging clouds and drizzle. These clouds will be slow to clear, but sunshine will ultimately make a strong showing this afternoon as highs warm to the low to mid 70s in the greater Seattle area.
