Spokane, Washington – Scorching heat returns to eastern Washington as Spokane climbs back into the 90s on Friday, July 25, with breezy south winds and dry air pushing fire risk and outdoor discomfort through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s high will hit near 90°F, with wind gusts up to 24 mph expected during the afternoon and early evening. The elevated temperatures, combined with low humidity and wind, could heighten wildfire concerns, particularly for areas along Interstate 90 and through Spokane Valley.
Saturday brings a slight cooldown to 85°F, but sunshine dominates with no rain relief in sight. Sunday rebounds to 87°F, continuing a string of hot, dry days that will persist into next week. Residents should stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Spokane-area hikers and weekend travelers should expect dry trail conditions and increased fire danger across Riverside State Park and surrounding foothills. Drivers should anticipate glare during morning commutes and potential dust along rural roads from gusty winds.
Next week looks even hotter — Wednesday is forecast to reach 98°F, marking one of Spokane’s warmest days of the season so far.
