Summer is Not Over, Yet. Temps in the 90s This Weekend in Yakima

We had our share of 100 degree temperatures. Now that school is in session, we're starting to see Halloween stuff on the shelves, the leaves may be changing colors soon, you're wanting to dress like it's fall.

But don't put away those summer shorts just yet. Yakima is pending high temperatures again as soon as this weekend.

We fall for it every year, don't we. We had our summer of fun but now we're looking forward to wearing pants and jackets again. Those nights where you just bundle up in a blanket and drink tea or eat soup or something. Soon as the first leaf falls you immediately get into your autumn colors only to find you sweating a couple of days later when the heat begins to rise again.

And never mind wearing a jacket to work, finding out you don't need it so you leave it at work, only to miss it the next morning. Then, by the end of the week, you have a pile of jackets, sweaters, and hoodies in your office.

According to Weather.com, Yakima has an expected high of 89 on Sunday, but don't let them fool you. No matter what it says, it's always a few degrees warmer than any bulletin board or bank sign or anything like that.

So, by all means, take advantage of it. Use this weekend as what could be your last trip to the beach or lounging in your backyard to soak up as much of that 'summer tan' as you can.

After this weekend highs will gradually drop a few degrees here and there from the 80s into the upper 70s in a couple of weeks.
