Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Friday, July 17, 2026 @ 6:15 AM
By Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)
The chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through early today as the atmosphere remains unstable. Like yesterday, some isolated storms could be strong and produce brief heavy rain, hail, and strong gusty outflow winds. This will give way to improving conditions by later today as the unsettled weather begins to move out of the region. Then through the weekend, higher pressure will once again take over the pattern. Temperatures will be a tad cooler with less humidity, but will still average well above normal. It will be breezy at times, especially on Saturday, and localized smoke will be problematic as well.
Long-Term Forecast
Models are in good agreement in that strong high pressure will continue to dominate the pattern and become more of an influence as time progresses. In fact, it appears that the Northwest will once again lead the nation in the hottest temperature anomalies next week! The big unknown continues to be how much moisture will get caught up in the flow and make it into the Inland Northwest. Right now, the next round of moisture will arrive on Monday and Tuesday bringing with it more cloud cover, but rain chances at this point still look bleak.
Short-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: GOOD
Long-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: EXCELLENT
(POOR= Forecast Changes Likely * FAIR= Limited Agreement * GOOD= Majority Agreement, but Changes Possible * EXCELLENT= Changes Unlikely)
