Washington — Crisp morning air gives way to warming sunshine, but clouds are already lining up just beyond the horizon. The calm start will not last long as a more active spring pattern begins to take shape across Spokane.
Skies stay mostly sunny through midday, with temperatures climbing into the low 70s. It feels like a brief taste of spring warmth, but changes arrive quickly later. By evening, clouds increase and a few light showers may begin to develop. If you’re heading out late, keep an umbrella nearby just in case.
The pattern shifts heading into Saturday as moisture pushes inland. Showers become more widespread, especially by late morning into the afternoon. A few thunderstorms are possible, bringing brief heavier rain and gusty winds. Roads could turn slick quickly during bursts of rain, so plan extra time if traveling.
Rain chances continue into Sunday, though coverage becomes more scattered. Temperatures cool slightly, holding in the upper 60s. Conditions remain unsettled, with off-and-on showers through the day. By evening, damp roads and cooler air could create patchy slick spots in shaded areas.
Early next week keeps the unsettled trend going. Monday brings another round of scattered showers with highs in the low 60s. By Tuesday, cooler air deepens, and a rain chance lingers with snow levels dropping in the region. While Spokane stays mostly rain, nearby higher elevations could see flakes. A gradual drying trend develops midweek, with temperatures settling into the low 50s before rebounding later.
