The FOX13 Weather team has issued a Weather Alert Day for Monday and Tuesday as temperatures warm nearing 90 degrees at Sea-Tac and even warmer in the foothills and Pierce County.

Say goodbye to the rain. It was nice while it lasted, but it wasn't unusual, a meteorologist said. This weekend, the summer heat will return.

After a blast of September-like weather Wednesday and Thursday, we're tracking a gradual warm-up in Seattle in the days ahead. Between Sunday and Tuesday, highs will soar into the 80s. Fire danger will be elevated during this time.
