Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 @ 6:00 AM
By Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)
Residual monsoonal moisture is once again moving over the region which could produce some sprinkles, scattered showers, or even an isolated thunderstorm, and keep our temperatures cooler today. Then for the rest of the work week, we are watching is a cut off storm offshore, and strong high pressure to our southeast. These two features will be battling each other through the week and models continue to have a tough time resolving the pattern. If the offshore storm moves further east, then we'll have a better chance of a few scattered showers and thunderstorms. The high pressure ridge that is producing the all-time record highs to the east will also continue to make advancements our direction as well. The one thing that seems certain is that temperatures will remain above normal, but to what degree remains to be seen. The one thing that will be more noticeable with time is the humidity levels will be on the rise!
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)
