Spokane, Washington – Triple-digit heat may not arrive just yet, but Spokane will flirt with dangerous warmth as high temperatures push into the mid-90s by midweek. With dry, sunny skies dominating and wind gusts climbing to 26 mph, the region faces elevated fire danger and heat risks through at least Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday, July 16 will bring full sun and a high near 89°F, followed by a 94°F scorcher on Thursday. The heat peaks Friday with a high near 95°F, and gusty winds returning in the afternoons. Calm mornings may give way to turbulent air by mid-day, especially along Interstate 90, where visibility could be reduced due to dust in drier stretches.
Spokane County residents should drink plenty of water, wear light clothing, and avoid strenuous activity during peak sun hours (1–5 p.m.). Those working outside should take frequent shade breaks. The cooling trend begins Saturday, but daytime highs still remain above average for July.
Looking ahead:
- Saturday stays sunny with a high near 90°F, followed by overnight lows in the mid-60s.
- Sunday and Monday bring highs in the upper 80s, with partly cloudy evenings and no precipitation expected.
- The region remains dry, meaning wildfire risk will persist through early next week.
More updates could be issued if heat advisories are triggered later this week.
