A weather pattern more reminiscent of the middle and end of the summer will keep a large portion of the northwestern United States warm into the weekend while daily, drenching thunderstorms will roam the Southwest into next week, according to AccuWeather forecasters.
The warmth in the Northwest will be a continuation of a heat wave that began last week and has shattered numerous daily temperature records. However, some heat relief is in sight by late in the weekend and into next week as a cooler, more seasonable pattern returns to the region.
