Hot Weather Expected Over Next Two Weeks

The last couple of weeks have been relatively cool across the Inland Northwest. And those below average temperatures have been good news for drought conditions. But things are going to change over the next couple of days.

Marilyn Lohman, meteorologist with the National Weather Service said temperatures are going to climb into the 90's with some locations topping out in the triple digits. But the hot weather this week, will only last until the weekend, when cooler weather returns. After that, Lohmann says we’ll see our first stretch of hot, dry weather next week.

“High Pressure builds over the Four Corners area and kind of pushed up to the Northwest.  When that happens, there’s the possibility we might see moisture pushed north out of California into Oregon, but at this time, it looks like that would be out a week from Thursday or Friday and mainly over the mountains.”

Lohmann said when looking at the remaining portions of July, temperatures are expected to be above normal, with precipitation below average.
