Clear and quiet Monday night, but storms return in the forecast – Kris

For the first time in a week, we managed to stay below 90° today in Spokane!  It was 89°. Well, there is cooler weather coming by the weekend, but in the meantime, get ready for another hot day. Expect a high Tuesday of 90° with blue skies and sunshine.  There is a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the mountains of northeast Washington and North Idaho.  However, we will have a quiet day in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene.

That will not be the case for Wednesday however.  A chance of widespread thunderstorm activity moves in for Wednesday late afternoon and continues through Thursday. The slow-moving storms will bring the potential for heavy rain and flash flooding. They could also keep things just a little bit cooler.  Drier and breezy weather is in the forecast for Friday, as well as the potential for wildfire danger.  Seasonable temperatures return to the forecast by the weekend.
