Hoop, Hoop Hooray! Hoopfest weather is a sunny, warm slam dunk – Kris

Slather on the sunscreen and guzzle your sports drinks, Hoopfest weekend is going to be warm and sunny! It will be nowhere near our hottest Hoopfest.  That honor goes to Hoopfest 2015 when we hit 102° on Saturday and 105° on Sunday.  However, considering the cool, wet spring we’ve had, it might feel sweltering. For Saturday, expect sunny skies with high temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s.  The forecast temperatures do not take into account the impact of the asphalt, the downtown buildings, and the thousands of bodies.  You will certainly feel the heat.  It will be even warmer on Sunday.  Expect high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s!

The weather will only get warmer for the start of the workweek! Spokane could hit 90° for the first time this season on Monday.  Slight cooler, breezy weather will arrive on Tuesday, and temperatures will cool back down to average by the end of the week.
