Washington – Rain is already beginning to speckle windshields across Spokane this afternoon, and clouds are thickening fast over the Inland Northwest. Roads along I-90 are turning slick, and visibility may drop as showers become more widespread through the next few hours.
According to the National Weather Service, a 70% chance of rain will continue through today, with thunderstorms possible after midday. Showers ease briefly tonight, but another round develops Sunday with a 40% chance, followed by a steadier 50% chance of rain Sunday night into Monday.
Across Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, and surrounding communities, drivers should expect wet pavement and occasional slowdowns. Heavier bursts could reduce visibility, especially during afternoon travel. Plan extra time and keep headlights on when rain intensifies.
Temperatures climb into the low 60s today before cooling slightly into the upper 50s by Monday. A more noticeable shift arrives Tuesday into Wednesday, when colder air drops snow levels to near 3,400 feet. That could bring a rain-snow mix in higher elevations and even brief mixed precipitation during early morning hours.
While no major accumulation is expected in the city, the midweek pattern signals a return to cooler, unsettled spring weather. Conditions begin to stabilize later in the week with more sunshine returning.
