Spokane, WA – A stretch of sunny, summer weather begins Thursday in eastern Washington, with Spokane warming to 85°F under mostly clear skies. The dry pattern will dominate through the weekend, raising concerns about heat exposure and dry brush near roadways like US-2 and I-90.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, Thursday will start mild with light winds from the south before temperatures peak in the mid-80s by mid-afternoon. A noticeable heat-up continues into the weekend, with Spokane expected to hit 90°F by Sunday. Winds will remain light, but locals should prepare for increasingly dry conditions and elevated UV exposure during peak daytime hours.
Residents planning outdoor work or recreation should hydrate frequently, wear light-colored clothing, and limit exposure between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. High temperatures combined with dry vegetation may also increase fire danger heading into next week.
Friday and Saturday bring more sunshine, with highs around 80–83°F and mostly clear nights in the 50s. No rainfall is expected, and visibility remains excellent across Spokane County and surrounding rural roads.
While this isn’t record-breaking heat, it marks Spokane’s first sustained summer pattern of the year — a sharp contrast to recent spring conditions. Drivers should check tire pressure, keep water in their vehicles, and monitor pets left outside.
More summer advisories could follow if temperatures exceed 95°F next week.
