Tuesday/ heating up ☀️

We had 88°F (31°C) here in Seattle today.
The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory for today and tomorrow for the Seattle area— with potential for temperatures in the mid-90s (35°C) on Wednesday.

The weather camera by Hansville out on Kitsap peninsula picked up noctilucent clouds early this morning (the faint, bluish-silver or electric blue streaks above the orange colors of twilight).
These are also called night-shining clouds or polar mesospheric clouds. They are composed of ice crystals and form in the mesosphere, the atmospheric layer above the stratosphere, at extremely cold temperatures.
