SPOKANE, Wash.– It’s another beautiful Northwest summer weekend, and there’s not much to spoil the fun on Sunday.

It’s good weather for cooling off and sleeping in on Sunday morning with lows in the mid-50s. Much like Saturday, afternoon temperatures will only reach the 80s in most areas. That’s pretty normal for mid-August, but it’s been pretty hot lately so it feels great!

There is one small issue we’ll have to keep an eye on. Smoke and haze from some fires burning near Lake Wenatchee will ride on the wind into the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene metro on Sunday. It’s hard to say how our air quality will be affected, but it’s worth checking before you get your day started. At the very least, it will be a little hazier than it’s been lately.

Two fires in the mountains above Lake Wenatchee are going off on this breezy afternoon. There's a lot of smoke production that we'll have to track for the rest of the weekend #wawx #airquality #fireseason pic.twitter.com/61HiypBbgL

Another heat wave is coming as a new week begins. We’ll pop back up into the 90s on Monday and be on the edge of 100 by Wednesday! So far we’re not forecasting triple digits for the Coeur d’Alene or Spokane areas, but we will be cutting it close late in the week.
