Spokane, WA – Drivers and outdoor plans across northeast Washington and the Idaho Panhandle could be disrupted Sunday afternoon as scattered showers and thunderstorms develop, paired with gusty winds.
According to the National Weather Service Spokane office, a 20-30% chance of showers and isolated storms will move in after midday, with breezy conditions persisting into the evening. Highs are expected to range from the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. Winds could make driving, especially for high-profile vehicles, more hazardous.
Cities like Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, and Sandpoint should expect periods of brief heavy rain and isolated lightning through sunset. Monday will offer a temporary break, staying partly sunny but still breezy, with highs reaching the mid-70s in spots.
By early Tuesday, a better chance for widespread rain and additional thunderstorms will return, with cooler temperatures dropping into the upper 50s to low 70s. Residents are urged to secure outdoor objects, avoid parking under large trees, and monitor for lightning if venturing outside.
Breezy weather is expected to linger each day through midweek, with more detailed advisories possible if storm activity increases.
