Exclusive Inland Northwest Summary Issued: Thursday, July 16, 2026 @ 6:00 AM
By Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries are issued as needed, and are updated more frequently during periods of active weather)
Now through early Friday will feature a more active pattern as a storm to our west and higher pressure to the SE combine to send additional heat and monsoonal moisture over the Inland Northwest! The result will be a mix of sun & clouds, and the chance of thunderstorms. Most thunderstorms will drop little rain, but instead produce numerous lightning strikes along with strong, gusty winds. There could be some thunderstorms with brief heavy rain and hail, but at this time they are expected to be isolated in nature. That could change should storms start to train over the same area. By later Friday, the more unsettled weather will move out as higher pressure once again takes over. Temperatures will be a tad cooler with less humidity through the weekend, but will still average well above normal!
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 unknown continues to be how much monsoonal moisture will get caught up in the flow and make it into the Inland Northwest. Right now, the next best chance of thunderstorm activity will be late Monday into Tuesday as another offshore storm moves close to the Northwest.
Short-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: GOOD
Long-Term Weather Model Agreement for the Inland Northwest is: EXCELLENT
(POOR= Forecast Changes Likely * FAIR= Limited Agreement * GOOD= Majority Agreement, but Changes Possible * EXCELLENT= Changes Unlikely)
