Toasty Fourth of July forecast boosts fire concerns for Snohomish County

EVERETT — Expect temperatures in the high 80s this Fourth of July.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will all have highs of 80 degrees or higher, National Weather Service meteorologist Reid Wolcott said.

Those temperatures are “nowhere near the ‘heat dome’” in 2021, which saw a high in Everett of 100 and contributed directly and indirectly to some 440 deaths across the state, Wolcott said.

However, people should still practice caution, especially if spending long periods of time outdoors during Fourth of July festivities, Wolcott said.
