Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Monday, July 27, 2026 @ 4:00pm
WRITTEN BY: Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed and will be updated more frequently during times of active weather)
SHORT-TERM FORECAST
Temperatures will remain close to normal early in the period before readings begin to warm up again after midweek. It will be quite breezy at times during the daylight hours early in the week as well. While some occasional cloud cover is possible in places, don't expect to see any precipitation as the week looks to remain extremely dry once again.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
The northern periphery of the desert SW ridge will vary in strength beginning this weekend, and it's possible that stronger winds will arrive on Saturday as some cooler air moves overhead once again. At this time, it appears August will start similar to how July will end, and that is extremely dry! As of this summary, I still don't see any relief in sight from the extreme drought plaguing much of the forecast area.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: EXCELLENT
