Spokane, WA – Wildfire danger will remain elevated across eastern Washington Thursday as a Red Flag Warning stays in effect until 8 p.m. for Spokane and surrounding counties, with low humidity and hot winds driving extreme fire behavior risk.
According to the National Weather Service, west winds near 7 mph paired with temperatures reaching 86°F Thursday and bone-dry air will increase fire spread potential. Outdoor burning is strictly discouraged. Locals along I-90 and SR 395 should remain alert for smoke or rapid fire development.
High temperatures will surge Friday and Saturday, topping 92°F Friday and peaking near 95°F Saturday, under cloudless skies. That heat will linger into early next week, with Sunday’s high expected to hit 97°F, the hottest stretch Spokane has seen yet this summer.
Clear skies dominate the five-day forecast, but the dry pattern and persistent high temperatures raise concern for wildfires and heat-related illness. Stay hydrated, avoid peak sun between 2–6 p.m., and keep vehicles and grills away from dry brush.
