Spokane, Washington – Spokane is heading into a stretch of unusually hot, dry weather this week with temperatures peaking at 95°F by Monday. With sunshine locked in from Wednesday through the weekend, residents should prepare now for heat-related risks, especially on roads like Sunset Highway (US-2) where glare and surface temps can spike.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, Wednesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 79°F and light winds under 5 mph. By Thursday, clear skies and a high of 84°F will mark the beginning of a sharp warm-up. The heat intensifies Friday with 87°F expected and reaches a peak near 91°F Saturday and 95°F by Monday.
Officials recommend limiting outdoor labor between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., drinking water regularly, and checking on pets and vulnerable neighbors. Car interiors can overheat rapidly in these conditions, even with windows cracked.
Nighttime lows will hover in the upper 40s to upper 50s, offering little overnight relief. Sunny skies and dry air increase wildfire potential across eastern Washington — an early-season concern for rural communities and hikers near state forests.
Expect updates if air quality alerts or fire watches are issued. Current forecasts show no rain or storm activity through early next week.
