Washington wakes up gray and icy this morning, with patchy freezing fog clinging to Spokane streets. Temperatures hover near 30°F, and untreated roads feel slick under tires. Visibility drops in pockets, especially before mid-morning. If you’re heading out early, slow down and use headlights.

Clouds hold firm through the day, and highs climb to about 45°F. The fog gradually lifts, but damp pavement lingers. Later tonight, rain becomes likely, mainly before early morning. Snow levels sit near 3,800 feet, keeping most of Spokane wet rather than white at first.

Saturday stays unsettled. Highs reach near 45°F with a chance of rain. By evening, colder air filters in. Rain may mix with snow as snow levels lower toward 3,000 feet, then closer to 2,200 feet after midnight. Little accumulation is expected in town, but conditions can change quickly.

Sunday, February 15th, brings another shift. A slight chance of rain and snow continues, with highs near 42°F. Snow levels hover near 2,300 feet. Roads may turn slushy late, especially on bridges and shaded areas. Plan extra time if traveling along I-90.

President’s Day looks damp and chilly. Rain and snow chances increase again, with highs near 47°F. Snow levels rise during the afternoon, limiting accumulation in Spokane but keeping higher terrain slick.

Monday night into midweek stays active. Rain and snow remain possible, and lows dip into the lower 30s. Watch for flash freezing where daytime melt refreezes after sunset.
