~Fall Around the Pacific Northwest~
Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Saturday, October 3, 2026 @ 8:30pm
WRITTEN BY: Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed and will be updated more frequently during times of active weather)
SHORT-TERM FORECAST
Strong high pressure will continue to give the Inland Northwest unseasonably mild and dry weather through much of the workweek. High temperatures will top out well above normal each day, and winds will be mostly on the light side.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
The strong high presssure ridge will begin to loosen its grip as we move into next weekend. The most notable change will be the arrival of cooler temperatures and breezy conditions, but at this point, not a whole lot of precipitation is expected with the change.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: EXCELLENT
General Long-Term Model Agreement: EXCELLENT
