Current National Weather Service point forecasts for Seattle show a high near 70–72°F on August 2, driven by a weakening onshore flow and lingering marine-layer influence that moderates afternoon temperatures along the Puget Sound. This aligns with climatological norms for early August, when daily highs typically peak in the mid-70s but can dip several degrees under increased cloud cover or northerly winds. Recent model consensus from operational runs has remained stable in the low 70s without significant warm-air advection or clear-sky amplification expected. Trader positioning around the 70–73°F bins reflects this consensus, tempered by the inherent uncertainty in boundary-layer mixing and exact timing of any clearing, with resolution hinging on official observations from Sea-Tac or downtown stations.
