Washington – A biting 28-degree chill greets Spokane this morning, and a few light snowflakes could drift across neighborhoods before midday.
Skies remain mostly cloudy, and a 20 percent chance of snow develops late morning into the afternoon. Highs climb only to about 37 degrees, keeping the air crisp. Roads are mainly dry now, but shaded streets and side roads could turn slick if brief snow showers pass through.
Drivers along I-90 and Division Street should stay alert. Even light bursts can coat cold pavement quickly. This is peak flash-freeze season. When snow melts during the day and temperatures fall back into the 20s tonight, black ice can form fast on bridges and overpasses.
Temperatures dip near 21 degrees tonight with another slight chance of snow. Little accumulation is expected, but any moisture left on untreated roads may refreeze before sunrise Friday.
Friday stays cool with a high near 35 degrees and a slight snow chance early. Skies trend partly sunny Saturday with a high near 43 degrees. Sunday turns milder, reaching 45 degrees with only a slight rain chance late.
Early next week brings a gradual warming trend. Highs approach the upper 40s Monday and could push near 50 by midweek. Longer-range outlooks favor above-normal temperatures heading toward late February, hinting at early spring vibes across eastern Washington.
Bundle up this morning and allow extra time on the roads.
