Washington – A brisk southwest wind sweeps across Spokane this morning, rattling bare branches and reminding everyone that late winter still has a grip. Temperatures climb toward 52 degrees today under mostly cloudy skies, but gusts up to 28 mph will keep it feeling cooler.
Roads are dry for now, yet drivers along I-90 should expect crosswinds through midday. Secure loose items and use caution in high-profile vehicles.
Skies partially clear tonight, and temperatures drop sharply to around 29 degrees. That sets the stage for a freeze by early Saturday. Any melted snow or damp pavement could refreeze, raising the risk of slick spots before sunrise. This is prime time for flash freezing across shaded roads and bridges.
Saturday turns mostly sunny with a high near 49. Saturday night dips to 28 again under mostly cloudy skies. Sunday rebounds to near 52 with mostly sunny conditions. It’s a brief Spring Tease before March shifts gears.
Monday looks bright and slightly milder, with a high near 53. By Tuesday night, a 30 percent chance of rain develops after 10 p.m. Wednesday trends wetter, with rain likely and highs near 50. Snow levels fall from around 4,400 feet to near 3,600 feet Wednesday night. Mountain passes could see fresh snow, especially along higher elevations east of Spokane.
The 6–10 day outlook hints at moderating temperatures into midweek, with signs of gradual warming after this unsettled stretch.
