JULY 2024 FINISHED MUCH WARMER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL ACROSS
NORTHEAST WASHINGTON INTO THE NORTH IDAHO PANHANDLE. FOR THE SPOKANE
AIRPORT IT WAS THE WARMEST JULY ON RECORD. THE HIGH TEMPERATURES
REACHED 90F OR WARMER FOR 20 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, WHICH WAS A RECORD.
OF THESE 20 DAYS, 100 DEGREES OR WARMER WAS ACHIEVED 6 TIMES. THE
HOTTEST DAY WAS THE 21ST WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 107 DEGREES. THE
HEAT LED TO ROAD DAMAGE ON HIGHWAY 195 NORTH OF THORTON. BESIDES THE
HEAT, THERE WERE A COUPLE THUNDERSTORM EVENTS DURING THE MONTH. ON
THE 1ST AND 2ND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTED AREAS FROM CUSICK
TO PRIEST LAKE TO BONNERS FERRY WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. A SPOTTER
REPORTED 1.10 INCHES OF RAIN IN JUST 30 MINUTES NEAR RUBY.
ON THE 17TH OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THUNDERSTORMS TRACKED INTO THE UPPER
COLUMBIA BASIN, PRODUCING A DUST STORM IN RITZVILLE WITH NEAR ZERO
VISIBILITY. ON THE 18TH ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS TRACKED THROUGH
THE IONE AREA.
SEVERAL TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE BROKEN OR TIED DURING THE MONTH.
THIS INCLUDE A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 100 ON THE 8TH, 102 ON THE
