~Summer Around the Pacific Northwest~
Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Sunday, September 27, 2026 @ 6:00pm

(Summaries are issued as needed and will be updated more frequently during times of active weather)
SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The next system of interest will arrive on Tuesday as a weak storm brushes the region. This will result in breezy conditions and just a slight chance of a passing shower. Thereafter, strong high pressure will build back over much of the West. This will lead to a return of unseasonably dry weather along with above normal temperatures, which will continue into next weekend.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
Summer-like high pressure will persist at least through the early portion of the long-term period with more dry, warm weather. The high pressure ridge will slowly weaken by later in the period, but the exact timing of that remains uncertain at this time.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
