Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Monday, April 28, 2025 @.8:15 AM

By Climatologist Bob Lutz

(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)

Short-Term Forecast
The next forecasted disturbance due to arrive on Tuesday continues to show signs of strengthening. As such, most models are finally in better agreement in that we'll see at least a brief period of measurable rain during the morning hours with scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible thereafter. Temperatures will be cooler Tuesday & Wednesday, and it will also be breezy at times. Another warming trend will arrive after midweek under strengthening high pressure, with temperatures expected to soar into the mid and upper 70's and in some cases, lower 80's! The warm, dry weather is then expected to last through the end of the work week.

Long-Term Forecast
The first weekend in May will bring with it more changes as the eastern Pacific ridge temporarily breaks down, and allows a storm to move inland. This will bring with it cooler temperatures and a chance of more showers, but amounts with this system also remain in question. Thereafter, the ridge will try to rebuild into the Northwest, but its strength over our region is in question leading to even more uncertainty in the far extended outlook. As such, potential changes to the forecasts seem likely in the days ahead.

Short-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: GOOD
Long-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: FAIR
(POOR= Forecast Changes Likely * FAIR= Limited Agreement * GOOD= Majority Agreement, but Changes Possible * EXCELLENT= Changes Unlikely)
