Washington – Bright sun cuts through a crisp 30s chill this morning, but wind gusts near 28 mph will start pushing vehicles across lanes by midday along I-90 in Spokane. The air feels dry and sharp early, then turns breezy and more unsettled as the day unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, southwest winds increase to 7 to 16 mph with gusts up to 28 mph through the afternoon. Highs reach near 54°F, offering a mild break before conditions shift again later today. A 20 percent chance of rain mixing with light snow develops after sunset, especially near higher terrain and shaded roadways.
Drivers across Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Airway Heights should stay alert for sudden crosswinds on exposed stretches of I-90 and US-2. Later today, watch for brief wet pavement that could turn slick as temperatures fall toward 30°F. Bridges and overpasses cool first, raising the risk for patchy ice.
Conditions quiet down by Thursday with sunny skies and highs near 49°F, though the morning starts colder near 28°F. That swing could support isolated icy spots early, especially where moisture lingers. Keep an eye on sidewalks and untreated roads.
Warmer air builds into Friday and the weekend, pushing highs into the upper 50s and near 60°F by Sunday. Clouds increase, but dry conditions dominate until early next week. By Monday, rain chances return with snow levels dropping from 4,900 to near 4,200 feet, hinting at light mountain snow.
