~Summer Around the Pacific Northwest~
Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Friday, September 25, 2026 @ 6:15pm
WRITTEN BY: Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed and will be updated more frequently during times of active weather)
SHORT-TERM FORECAST
Following the vigorous cold front on Friday, expect a breezy and much cooler weekend, with any lingering rain or snow showers confined to the higher mountains. In areas of calm winds and a clear sky, we'll see the chance of widespread frost during the overnight hours in the sheltered northern valleys through early next week.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
Near average temperatures will close out September and continue into the first few days of October. There will be a chance of a few scattered showers on Tuesday and Wednesday as a minor disturbance passes by, but most locations will remain dry as there are no major storms in the pipeline. As we move through early October, there continue to be solid indications of stronger high pressure, which would result in another period of unseasonably dry weather and above normal temperatures!
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
