Spokane, WA – Residents of Spokane are in for a significant warm-up to kick off the first days of autumn, with temperatures predicted to soar into the mid-80s on Monday and Tuesday. Highs could reach 85°F, potentially touching 90°F in some areas along the I-90 corridor. However, a strong cold front is expected to sweep through by midweek, bringing a noticeable drop in temperatures by Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service, Spokane could see temperatures 15°F above the seasonal average for the next two days, offering a final glimpse of summer warmth. This heatwave, though brief, may increase fire risks due to dry and breezy conditions. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly near the U.S. Route 2 and I-90 areas.
Looking ahead, by Thursday, the forecast predicts a sharp cooling trend, with daytime highs returning to more typical autumn values in the low 70s. The National Weather Service advises locals to enjoy the warm weather but to prepare for the shift in conditions and stay alert for fire warnings, especially in dry areas.
