SPOKANE, Wash. — A few isolated, light showers Tuesday evening mark the end of our current weather pattern. The breezy wind, rain, and cool temperatures are all expected to exit the region in the days to come. By the weekend, summer-like heat envelopes the entire Northwest.
There will be a few scattered showers in the mountains of North Idaho Wednesday morning. Most of those will stay up high and not offer much. If you're headed over Lookout Pass or Thompson Pass expect a little rain, everywhere else it's just cloud cover to start the day.
We will start clearing out Wednesday afternoon and by Thursday mostly sunny skies dominate the region. All of that sunshine is a good thing if you like warm weather. Heat builds, and by the weekend we're talking 80-degree highs with nothing but sun in the sky. If you're keeping track, that's highs some 15 degrees above the seasonal norm.
The warm weather looks to last through next week, but keep in mind the water is still very cold. If you are headed out on the lake, a life jacket (pfd) can save your life. Cold water is extremely dangerous, especially this time of year.
