Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Sunday, July 19, 2026 @ 3:30 PM
By Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)
Strong high pressure from the Desert SW will make a full invasion into the Northwest this week! This will lead to well above normal temperature for much of the forecast area. There will be some cloud cover at times which may keep temperatures a tad cooler and any areas of smoke will also result in slightly cooler daytime highs, but it will still be hot, hot, hot! The chance of showers and thunderstorms remains quite small over our immediate forecast area, but there will still be that slight chance each time some cloud cover moves over the region from the south.
Long-Term Forecast
At this time, it looks like the overall pattern will see little change. As such expect more of the same with above normal temperatures along with little if any precipitation. The chance of some cloud cover, smoke, and breezy conditions will also continue at times. Slightly cooler temperatures are possible going into the last week of July. Monsoonal moisture continues to be the wildcard, but like in the short-term period, our forecast area will likely see little widespread precipitation as much of the activity remains to our south and east.
Short-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: GOOD
Long-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: GOOD
(POOR= Forecast Changes Likely * FAIR= Limited Agreement * GOOD= Majority Agreement, but Changes Possible * EXCELLENT= Changes Unlikely)
