Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check up on neighbors. Please check with your local government or call 211 for cooling centers or explore other options such as libraries, shopping centers. Don't leave your kids & pets in the car.

There’s a heat advisory in place for much of the state. It could reach 100 degrees in parts of Eastern WA. We know for some of you, this is just classic summer weather. But, for others, this will pose a moderate to major risk of heat-related illness. #wawx

There is a 10-20% chance for thunderstorms across the northeastern Washington and the Cascades this afternoon and evening. This will bring a risk for new fire starts and gusty outflow winds. https://t.co/JjwaKmUHcf

Thunderstorms are expected Thursday! Afternoon & evening bring a marginal severe risk to far eastern WA & north ID (58+ mph winds & 1" hail). Central WA faces a general storm risk. Lightning brings a danger of new fire starts. Stay weather aware!

[NWS Spokane @NWSSpokane]

Temperatures will trend much warmer this week with widespread Moderate HeatRisk on Tuesday and Wednesday. Uncertainty in the forecast details significantly increases for Thursday and beyond due to model differences in an approaching weather system. https://t.co/JjwaKmUHcf

[NW Clean Air Agency @NWCleanAir]

NWCAA AQ FORECAST: Expect Moderate conditions on 7/13 in Skagit and Whatcom counties and Good in Island and San Juan counties.

A high-pressure system will impact the region and will cause smoke from B.C. wildfires to slowly settle into the more interior areas. 1/2

Some agencies use AI.

We chose... whatever this is.

The message is still the same:

Smoke alarms save lives. Check yours today.
