Monday will be cooler and cloudier in Western Washington after a summer-like Mother's Day weekend.

May has been a mixed bag so far, with a cool start followed by very warm weather the past few days. The next week will bring another warming trend as high pressure moves in again Tuesday.

Temperatures will be about ten degrees cooler Monday as westerly flow pushes more clouds into Western Washington. This cooldown will be brief, as an upper level ridge builds offshore and eventually pushes east, over the Pacific Northwest Tuesday.

If you're heading to T-Mobile Park over the next three days as the Seattle Mariners take on the Kansas City Royals, the weather should be great. The roof is expected to be open for all three games with no rain in sight.

The next seven days look fantastic with lots of sunshine and very comfortable late-spring temperatures. There is no rain in the forecast, so now would be a good time to think about watering your lawn and your plants before they get too parched.
