Spokane, WA – Spokane residents should prepare for a stretch of extreme summer heat with temperatures expected to climb into the triple digits through midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will rise to a high near 94 degrees today with widespread haze settling over the region by afternoon. Conditions will remain hazy overnight with lows around 62.
Sunday will bring hotter weather, with highs near 98 and partly cloudy skies into the evening. Labor Day is forecast to be even hotter, reaching near 100 degrees, while Tuesday is expected to be the peak of the heat wave with highs near 102. Temperatures are projected to stay near 100 again on Wednesday before easing slightly later in the week. Overnight lows are forecast to remain in the low-to-mid 60s, offering little relief.
Forecasters warn that prolonged exposure to this type of heat can be dangerous, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly and those without access to cooling. Officials recommend limiting outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, staying hydrated, and checking on neighbors and pets.
The hazy conditions are also expected to linger into the weekend, potentially affecting air quality across the region. Residents with respiratory concerns are advised to limit time outdoors when haze is present.
The hot, stagnant weather pattern is forecast to persist through at least Friday, with highs in the upper 90s expected to continue. Cooler air is not anticipated until the following weekend.
