JULY 2026 BROUGHT SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW
NORMAL PRECIPITATION TO NORTHEAST WASHINGTON INTO THE NORTH IDAHO
PANHANDLE. THERE WERE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF DRY AND BREEZY WINDS WHICH
ALLOWED SEVERAL REGIONAL WILDFIRES ACROSS WASHINGTON AND OREGON TO
GROW FOLLOWING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE 15TH THROUGH THE
17TH. MORNING THUNDERSTORMS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE 8TH FROM CHEWELAH
TO IONE TO PRIEST LAKE WHICH STARTED THE UPPER SMITH FIRE, 6 MILES
WEST OF PORTHILL. THE LARGEST FIRE IN NORTHEAST WASHINGTON WAS THE
MODRITE FIRE WHICH BURNED 57,594 ACRES. SEVERAL DAYS OF SMOKE AND
HAZE OCCURRED FOLLOWING THE FIRE STARTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE
MONTH.
NO RECORDS WERE BROKE DURING THE MONTH AT THE SPOKANE AIRPORT.
