So the 90 day weather forecast looks to be rather warm. Wouldn't know that after the last few days but it appears this bit of rain is about to be history.



90 day weather forecast PNWThe 90-day forecast for the Pacific Northwest (June through August) calls for warmer-than-average temperatures and a higher likelihood of drier-than-average conditions.

As ENSO-neutral conditions transition toward an El Niño pattern, meteorological guidance leans heavily toward a hotter and potentially sunnier summer compared to historical baselines for Washington and Oregon.A more localized, month-by-month breakdown highlights the following trends:

JuneTemperature: Leaning slightly above average, with daytime highs in the mid-to-upper 70s inland, and cooler 60s along the coast.

Precipitation: Slightly below the historical average for early summer, meaning the typical June gloom will likely give way to more frequent clear, dry spells.

Outlook: Expect a pleasantly warm kickoff to the summer season with fewer continuous rainy days and more sunny afternoons.

JulyTemperature:
The warmest month of the period, with a strong signal for above-average temperatures. Inland cities (like Seattle and Portland) can expect highs consistently in the 80s to low 90s, with potential for short-duration heat waves.

Precipitation: Historically the driest month of the year in the PNW, and this year is expected to be even drier and potentially sunnier than normal.

Outlook:
Peak summer conditions. The risk of wildfire starts to increase as vegetation dries out earlier than usual.AugustTemperature: Continuing the trend of warmer-than-normal weather. High temperatures will remain largely in the 80s.Precipitation: Below average, extending the dry late-summer pattern.Outlook: High reliance on air conditioning or coastal breezes, with dry conditions leading to heightened fire weather concerns across the region
