Summer arrived today, briefly, as unseasonably warm temperatures reached into the 70s in places and broke several records, The National Weather Service reported.

All-time high temperatures at SeaTac, Olympia, Bellingham and at the National Weather Service office in Seattle were recorded, meteorologist Johnny Burg said. In Seattle the previous record, 62 degrees, was blown away when the mercury peaked at 71 degrees.

The high temperatures were a result of high pressure and southerly winds, Burg said.

Don't expect the same nice weather Wednesday. A minor front expected to come in overnight will bring rain and drop highs to the mid-50s, Burg said.

Expect some rain and cooler temperatures over the next few days, he said.
