Spokane, WA – Residents across the Inland Northwest are waking up to a cold start Sunday, with temperatures dipping into the low 20s and low 30s before a gradual warm-up later in the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, breezy conditions will develop through the morning and continue into the afternoon, with south to southwest winds between 5 and 15 mph and gusts reaching up to 20 mph. Despite the chilly start, daytime highs are expected to climb into the low 50s to low 60s across much of eastern Washington and north Idaho.
The combination of cold early temperatures and increasing winds may create a noticeable chill during the morning commute and early outdoor activities. Drivers, especially in open or elevated areas, could experience minor crosswinds, though no major travel disruptions are expected.
By the afternoon, conditions will feel more seasonable, offering a mild end to the weekend. Clear to partly cloudy skies are expected to dominate, making it a favorable window for outdoor plans despite lingering breeziness.
Cities including Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, Pullman, and surrounding communities will all experience similar conditions, with the biggest impact being the sharp contrast between early morning cold and afternoon warmth.
Residents are encouraged to dress in layers if heading out early and secure any loose outdoor items due to gusty winds.
