Spokane, WA – The US National Weather Service Spokane reports slick and icy conditions across portions of eastern Washington and north Idaho this Thursday morning following overnight freezing drizzle and light snow.
Temperatures remain below freezing, and the mix of moisture and cold air has led to black ice on many bridges, overpasses, and untreated roads. Commuters should expect hazardous travel, particularly in rural and shaded areas.
Light snow continues to move through the region this morning, adding to slippery surfaces.
Motorists are urged to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and use caution when driving. Even a light coating of ice can make conditions treacherous.
Authorities also remind residents to watch for icy sidewalks and parking lots, as untreated surfaces can be extremely slick.
