Washington – Gray clouds hang low over Spokane this morning, and the air feels damp and heavy. Pavement may look wet now, but colder air is lining up behind this system.
Temperatures sit in the mid-30s early today with overcast skies. A slight chance of rain develops late this morning, with highs reaching near 43 degrees. Snow levels start around 2,400 feet and rise slightly this afternoon, keeping most of the city in plain rain at first.
By late tonight, the pattern shifts. Rain begins mixing with snow after midnight as temperatures slide toward 36 degrees. No major accumulation is expected initially, but roads could turn slushy in heavier bursts.
Monday brings a steadier rain–snow mix, especially after midday. Highs reach near 40 degrees. Snow levels fall through the afternoon, and colder air settles in by evening. Light accumulation is possible Monday night as lows dip to 28 degrees.
Tuesday stays colder with highs near 41 and a continued 40 percent chance of snow. Tuesday night turns sharply colder, with lows around 26. Any melting during the day may refreeze after sunset. Watch for slick spots on I-90, Division Street, and shaded neighborhood roads.
Snow chances linger into Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the mid-30s and overnight lows in the low 20s. This is prime time for “flash freezing” as daytime moisture hardens into icy patches after dark.
Plan extra time for the Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning commutes. Keep winter gear handy, even if snowfall stays light.
Looking ahead into the 6–10 day outlook, temperatures are expected to gradually moderate. A milder pattern may develop toward late week, hinting at early spring vibes returning across eastern Washington.
