THE
THE SKY
THE SKY RISERS, THE LATEST STEP IN THIS RENOVATION, ARE
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TODAY.
I'M ALEX ROZIER, KING 5 NEWS.
>> SO NEAT THAT YOU CAN
FINALLY SEE MORE OF YOUR VIEW.
AND, WHEN IT'S NICE AND SUNNY
OUT THERE, I'LL BET IT'S JUST
STUNNING.
STUNNING.
STUNNING. >> I HAVE BEEN TO THE SPACE
NEEDLE SO MANY TIMES, BUT NOW
I'VE GOT TO DO IT AGAIN
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE
BETTER.
BETTER.
BETTER. I
BETTER. I WILL HAVE TO EAT THERE.
I'VE NEVER EATEN THERE.
>> AND, YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
THE ROTATING FLOOR.
THAT ONE IS NOT DONE UNTIL
JULY.
JULY.
JULY. WAIT UNTIL THAT.
>> THAT WILL BE AWESOME.
>> YOU CAN LOOK RIGHT DOWN
WHICH IS CRAZY.
YOU CAN'T BE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS
TO DO THAT.
OTHERWISE, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR
APPETITE AND DINNER.
>>>
>>> AS
>>> AS YOU ARE MENTIONING, IT'S A LITTLE BIT CLOUDY.
THEY HAVE ALSO KEPT IT A
LITTLE BIT COOL.
HAVE YOU BEEN OUTSIDE AT ALL
TODAY?
TODAY?
TODAY? >>
TODAY? >> NOT TODAY.
>> WE'VE BEEN IN HERE.
WE ARE 60 RIGHT NOW, PRETTY
MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD.
TONS OF US ARE ABOUT 60
DEGREES.
DEGREES.
DEGREES. WE STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF
UPPER 50s.
UPPER 50s. GET A LOAD OF THE SOUTH SOUND.
UPPER 60s DOWN THERE.
THAT IS THE WARMEST SPOT.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE 24-HOUR
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE.
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF US ARE
ABOUT 10, 11, 12 DEGREES
COOLER THAN THIS TIME
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. DEFINITELY, FEELING THE CHILL,
IF YOU WILL.
GET IT?
GET IT?
GET IT? WELL, IT RHYMED.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ANYTHING
TO GET.
TO GET.
TO GET. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.
AS WE GO HOUR BY HOUR INTO
FIDO'S FORECAST, THIS IS A
LOOK AT COOPER AND MORIARTY.
I THINK I SAID THAT RIGHT.
I THINK IT WAS A SHERLOCK
HOLMES CHARACTER.
HOLMES CHARACTER. I THINK, A BEARDED DRAGON?
I DON'T KNOW.
ANYWAY, THERE IS THE DOG.
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT'S COOPER
AND THAT'S MORIARTY.
I COULD BE WRONG.
THEY ARE OUT ENJOYING THE SUN.
YOU ARE WONDERING, WILL WE SEE
SOME OF THAT TODAY?
WE WILL GET SOME SUN BRAKES
LATER ON ONCE THE CLOUDS
CONTINUED TO CLEAR OUT.
CLOUDY TO START YOUR DAY AND
IT WILL LINGER LONGER.
WE SHOULD GET SOME SUN BREAKS
LATER ON.
LATER ON.
LATER ON. WE'LL CALL IT PARTLY CLOUDY.
TEMPERATURES AROUND 5:00 AND
7:00 IN THE UPPER 60s.
SOME OF YOU MIGHT EVEN HIT 70
DEGREES TODAY.
DEGREES TODAY. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BAD.
JUST NOT AS WARM AS YESTERDAY.
WE HIT 80 AT SEATAC.
NOT LOOKING AT ANY RAIN, AT
LEAST NOT IN WESTERN
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. ALTHOUGH WE DID SEE POCKETS OF
DRIZZLE THIS MORNING.
WE ARE SEEING PRECIPITATION
OFTEN EASTERN WASHINGTON.
WE SHOULD NOT SEE AS MUCH
STORMY WEATHER AS WE SAW
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. WITH THE CLOCK IN MOTION,
DEALING WITH CLOUDS HERE AND
THERE, EBBING AND FLOWING.
AS WE GO INTO TOMORROW,
STARTING THE DAY ONCE AGAIN
WITH CLOUDS, COULD MAYBE SEE A
POCKET OF DRIZZLE AS THE
MARINE LAYER LOCKS IN.
BUT OVERALL, SHOULD BE A DRY
DAY AND WE SHOULD GET SOME
BREAKS THROUGHOUT THE
AFTERNOON AS WELL FOR THE SUN.
OVERALL, MOSTLY SUNNY, PARTLY
CLOUDY.
CLOUDY.
CLOUDY. AS WE GET INTO LATER ON TODAY,
TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 70
DEGREES WITH A SOUTHEAST WIND
AT 5 TO 10 MILES PER HOUR.
THE MOUNTAIN FORECAST TODAY
WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY.
THOSE WILL START TO CLEAR OUT
WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 60.
AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT SEVEN
DAYS, NOT LOOKING TOO BAD.
EACH DAY GETTING BETTER AND
BETTER IN TERMS OF THE MODEL
OUTPUT FOR THE WEEKEND.
THE BIG HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
RIGHT NOW, STILL LOOKING
MAINLY DRY.
MAINLY DRY. THERE IS STILL SHOWING A
LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE SATURDAY
MORNING, BUT IT'S NOTHING TO
CHANGE OR CANCEL PLANS OVER.
I THINK OVERALL IT'S GOING TO
BE A PRETTY NICE WEEKEND.
NOTICE HOW WE WARM UP TO ABOUT
THE MID-70s BY MEMORIAL DAY
ITSELF.
ITSELF.
ITSELF. NOW, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING ELSE. OH, YES.
OH, YES.
OH, YES. THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND
ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION,
ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION, NOAA, HAS PUT OUT THE FIRST
PREDICTIONS OF THE UPCOMING
HURRICANE SEASON.
HURRICANE SEASON. IT STARTS JUNE 1st AND LAST
THROUGH NOVEMBER.
THROUGH NOVEMBER. EVERYONE IS HOPING WE DON'T
SEE THE LIKES OF HURRICANE
HARVEY OR MARIA AGAIN.
BUT, NOAA IS PREDICTING NEAR
OR ABOVE NORMAL HURRICANE
SEASON.
SEASON.
SEASON. SO, HERE IS THE 2018 PROJECTED
OUTLOOK, WHERE WE COULD SEE 10
TO 16 NAMED STORMS.
THE AVERAGE IS 12.
YOU GET THE IDEA.
NOAA SAYS THAT 5 TO 9 COULD
BECOME HURRICANES THIS YEAR.
AND OF THOSE, FOUR COULD
BECOME A CATEGORY THREE OR
HIGHER, WHICH YOU KNOW, THAT'S
A MAJOR HURRICANE.
TO GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE,
HERE IS A LOOK AT LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR WE WERE EXPECTING --
OH, IT DID NOT WANT TO POP UP.
I WILL HAVE TO PUT THIS ONLINE
TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
BASICALLY WHAT WE WERE DOING
IS EXPECTING A LOT OF STORMS.
WE HAD 17 NAMED STORMS, 10
HURRICANES, AND SIX MAJOR
HURRICANES.
HURRICANES. THAT WAS
