SEATTLE – After temperatures soared into the 70s in Seattle on Monday, temperatures will cool to the 60s in most backyards today.

Showers swept through parts of Puget Sound this morning. Only scattered showers are forecast for the rest of the day. The wet weather will particularly benefit the mountains, coast and North Sound. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of it happening elsewhere.
