Martha Rivera Fox News. >> Turning now to weather. We had a rare, powerful storm move throughout western Washington last night. I'm sure a lot of you, if you didn't see it, you might have heard it. Here's a look at that storm as it happened. This was just around 10 p.m. when this was taken. This camera angle from Capitol Hill is looking south towards Sea-Tac airport. A very eerie and ominous look there. This is another look. This is the storm activity just from a slightly different angle. We recorded this on the Fox 13 stadium camera. This view is looking south, so it's just north of Lumen Field. And right now here is a live look at current power outages across our region. So right now PSC is reporting more than 7400 customers impacted. That is good because it is down from the last hour. Snohomish PUD is reporting now that just more than 100 customers are impacted. That is a major drop from this morning. So that's good news. As well. Seattle City Light has now more than 800 customers affected. You can stay with us here on good Day Seattle for the latest as crews work to restore the power. And of course we will keep you updated on Fox 13 seattle.com as well. Checking in on flights at SeaTac airport. The delays and cancellations. They have been steadily climbing this morning, so right now there are 117 delays and 44 cancellations. It's unclear, however, if this is weather related. So we are reaching out to the airport for more information. Brian McMillan. How's it looking out there? >> What a night? That was beautiful. Yeah, we haven't had a lightning storm like that here in, gosh, 15 years feels like forever. Been a long, long time. We just don't get them like they do in, let's say, Florida or Georgia. You know, here's a look at our Olympia camera. That's the state capital off in the distance. We're at 65 degrees right now. Most of the action has moved on. What we're left with here the rest of the day is a little bit of cloud cover. There may be a couple of scattered showers. They're going to pop up along the coastline and up through the Olympic Peninsula. We're going to remain mainly dry here around the Puget Sound area. Current temps right now in the mid 60s and heading through the rest of the day. Today I am expecting lots of sunshine in the mix. There may be a couple showers that decide to pop up small little cells, but for the most part it's not going to be as widespread as it was last night. So good news there. We get into your Monday. And yes, we have another band of showers that will approach the coastline this will impact the Olympic Peninsula. And for those of you out along the coast, but I don't expect it to have a big impact for those of us here a little farther inland. Here's your seven day forecast today. We're back into the mid 70s. Should be a nice sunny afternoon. And then Monday a mixture of sun and clouds with the showers hanging out off the coast. Next best chance for showers is going to be Wednesday and on into Thursday morning. And then we have another chance for showers as w
