Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 @ 8:00 PM
By Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)
For the rest of the work week, we continue to monitor a cut-off storm offshore, and strong high pressure to our southeast. These two features will continue to battle on another, and models remain at odds on the outcome. As such, we will keep the chance of a few scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through Thursday. The high pressure ridge that is producing the all-time record highs to the east will begin moving closer by the weekend which should in turn increase the heat. Humidity levels will also be rather high for Inland Northwest standards through the end of the week 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 again by next week. The big question continues to be how much monsoonal moisture will get caught up in the flow and make it into the Inland Northwest. Right now, the long term models are leaning toward above normal precipitation indicating the potential for at least some scattered shower and thunderstorm activity at times over parts of our forecast area.
Short-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: FAIR
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)
