Seven-day outlook
28–52°F across the weekThe week runs between 28° and 52°, with Wednesday the warmest day of it. There is no real trend across it: one day looks much like the next. Every day in the outlook stays dry.
Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.
The written summaries on this page are generated from the forecast data above, not by a meteorologist. Each sentence is a reading of the same numbers you can see, and no forecaster has reviewed them.

How well can the network see Chewelah?
The nearest Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), 42 miles to the S. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Chewelah its center is about 2,800 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Chewelah to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form. Chewelah is closer to its radar than 53% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is K63S · Colville Muni on the ASOS/AWOS network, 20 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Chewelah is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Washington observing network as of this build.
