We extend the idea of interval pattern avoidance defined by Yong and the author for ${{S}_{n}}$ to arbitrary Weyl groups using the definition of pattern avoidance due to Billey and Braden, and Billey and Postnikov. We show that, as previously shown by Yong and the author for $\text{G}{{\text{L}}_{n}}$, interval pattern avoidance is a universal tool for characterizing which Schubert varieties have certain local properties, and where these local properties hold.
