Washington – Headlights cut through a gray haze across Spokane this morning as fog settles into neighborhoods and along arterial roads. The air feels damp and cold, with visibility dropping quickly in low spots and near the Spokane River, creating a cautious start to the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, areas of dense fog linger through the morning, with visibility reduced to less than a mile at times. A chance of light rain develops late this morning into the afternoon, mainly between late morning and midafternoon. Snow levels sit near 4,400 feet, keeping precipitation rain in the city while nearby higher terrain may see a light mix.
Travel impacts remain the primary concern early. Drivers along I-90, U.S. 2, and Division Street should expect sudden visibility changes and slick pavement. Fog thickens near shaded stretches and overpasses, where moisture can linger. Plan extra time, slow down, and keep headlights on, even after sunrise.
Temperatures climb into the mid-40s this afternoon, limiting ice risk in town. Conditions improve slightly later today as fog thins, though clouds remain stubborn. Tonight turns quieter, with patchy fog redeveloping after sunset and lows settling near the mid-30s.
Tuesday brings another round of dense fog early, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a warmer afternoon near 50 degrees. By Wednesday, clouds persist but highs reach the low 50s, signaling a slow February warmup. Thursday turns partly sunny, with highs pushing into the low 50s again.
Looking toward the Feb 6–8 weekend, unsettled weather returns. Clouds thicken, and rain chances increase by Saturday night into Sunday. While Spokane avoids snow for now, colder mornings and lingering moisture could still impact early travel.
Across the nation, winter remains locked over the Midwest and Great Lakes with snow and deep cold. Inland Northwest impacts stay focused on fog, rain, and reduced visibility.
