The ridge of high pressure over Western Washington will begin to move east later tonight into Wednesday. This will allow some weak onshore flow to develop, pushing cooler air into the Puget Sound area by Wednesday morning. Temperatures will still be in the upper 80s for most of the central Puget Sound, but there should be fewer spots in the 90s Wednesday.
