Spokane, WA – Residents across eastern Washington and parts of north Idaho may notice brief, isolated showers this afternoon and evening, with a small risk of hail lingering into the night, according to the National Weather Service.
According to the National Weather Service Spokane, the region is experiencing a mostly quiet Monday afternoon, though isolated showers have developed across the eastern third of Washington and into north Idaho. Forecasters confirmed at least one report of small hail earlier in the day, signaling that some cells could briefly intensify.
The best chance for activity remains east of Spokane, including areas near Coeur d’Alene, Spirit Lake, and St. Maries, where scattered radar returns were observed mid-afternoon. While widespread storms are not expected, any shower that develops could produce short bursts of rain and small hail.
Meteorologists say the limited storm risk will continue into the evening hours before shifting mostly toward the northeast overnight. No widespread flooding or severe weather is anticipated, but drivers may encounter brief reductions in visibility during passing showers.
Communities across Spokane County, Kootenai County, Whitman County, and surrounding areas are advised to stay aware of changing conditions, especially if traveling later today or tonight. Outdoor plans should remain flexible, as showers may develop quickly and dissipate just as fast.
The National Weather Service notes conditions should gradually stabilize overnight as the system moves out of the region.
