National Weather Service forecasters in the Seattle office say a ridge is expected build over western Washington Friday and remain through the weekend pushing clouds aside and resulting in a warming trend.

Environment Canada forecasters agree and say to expect temperatures in the low to mid-70s near the water and in the low-80s inland on Saturday and Sunday along the US-Canada border.

Some computer weather forecast models currently show a potential for temperatures to hit 90 degrees in parts of the inland areas of Whatcom County.

This warmer weather is expected to be short lived as an onshore push is expected to bring cooler and wetter marine air inland Sunday night returning the area to a cooler and wetter pattern that has defined June this year.
