List of closures and cancellations in the Inland Northwest due to extreme heat

A historic heat wave is underway across the Northwest. In the coming days, temperatures will continue to soar to record highs in Washington and Idaho.

SPOKANE, Wash — The historic heat hitting the Inland Northwest is forcing some businesses to close and events to cancel due to lack of air conditioning and other heat-related issues.

A historic heat wave is underway across the Northwest. In the coming days, temperatures will continue to soar to record highs in Washington, Idaho and much of the West Coast. Spokane has the potential to see an all-time record high temperature for the city.

The National Weather Service in Spokane issued an Excessive Heat Warning that will be in effect through Thursday, July 1. Temperatures climbed into the triple digits over the weekend and Spokane's temperatures could hit 110 degrees this week. Central Washington could push 115 degrees.

Here’s a list of closures and cancellations around the Inland Northwest:
