Hot Saturday afternoon before strong thunderstorms in Washington -Matt

Saturday will be one of the hotter days we've had in a while with many places hitting 90 or hotter. Then on Saturday night thunderstorms will sweep through Western and Central Washington with gusty winds and lightning. Some of these storms could produce severe winds in the Cascades, and everyone should avoid travel and outdoor camping on Saturday night as these storms pass over Washington State.
