Today: Monday will start off with partly cloudy skies for some, but clouds will eventually breach and give way to mostly sunny to sunny skies. There could be a stray thunderstorm, or two, in the Cascades, Kittitas Valley, and the foothills of the Blues–but don’t bank on it. It’ll be a toasty one, but highs will only be a couple degrees above average. It’ll be in the low to mid-60s in the Cascades and Blues, with low to mid-80s in the Kittitas/Yakima valleys and Blue Foothills. The Lower Columbia Basin will flirt with 90-degrees. Otherwise, today will be a breezy to windy one depending on where you are. West-northwesterly wind gusts will gust between 20-45 MPH, with the strongest wind gusts easily being in the Kittitas Valley.
KENNEWICK, Wash. - Families in Kennewick have been left without a home after a four-plex caught fire Friday morning. The American Red Cross is helping them with the necessities at the moment.
