The weather gods have decided to give South Sound folks a break from the heat.

In the next seven days, expect temperatures to go down just a little.

Tonight will bring a low of around 57 degrees. The clouds will be present Sunday with a high near 66 degrees. It will be a partly sunny Monday with a high near 63 degrees.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 63 degrees and 67 degrees, respectively. The sun will come back around Thursday with a high near 65 degrees and Friday with a high near 66 degrees.

The amount of smoke and haze across the region will decrease, according to a news release from the National Weather Service. But there are chances for isolated thunderstorms in the mountains, which can bring a risk of fire.

Temperatures are expected to fall a little below normal temperatures the following week, according to the news release. There is a 10-20 percent chance of rain that week.

Bedraggled Cat Rescued From Nuneaton Sewage Plant Tank
Trent the ginger cat had a lucky escape when he was rescued by the RSPCA and fire service after falling into a huge storm tank at a sewage plant in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The bedraggled feline was spotted by a member of the public who was working at the plant that day. They were concerned that the cat wouldn't be able to get out - and could potentially drown if there was heavy rain - so contacted the RSPCA. RSPCA Inspector Nicola Johnson, who attended the site said, “The poor cat was 10 metres down there - he must have gotten in by falling. We don't know how long he had been in there as it might have taken time for someone to notice a cat was in there - it's not something you expect to see!” Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service attended and, using a ladder, the crew managed to get into the storm tank and safely capture the cat. Nicola checked the cat over and, though a little scared from his ordeal, he had no injuries. “Given that he was rescued from a Severn Trent plant, we have named him Trent,” said Nicola. “The name suits him well!” Trent was taken to the RSPCA's Birmingham Animal Centre but isn't microchipped so if an owner doesn't come forward soon, adventurous Trent will need adopting!
