Spokane, WA – Residents across Spokane should prepare for changing road and weather conditions beginning Saturday evening around 6 PM, as a new storm system brings rain, mountain snow, and the potential for slick travel through Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service Spokane, precipitation is expected to spread into the city Saturday evening and continue overnight into Sunday. The system is forecast to start primarily as rain in Spokane, while higher elevations see accumulating snow.
Forecasters say snow levels will gradually lower on Sunday, increasing the chance for light snow mixing in across Spokane late Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. At this time, any snow accumulation in the city is expected to remain minor, though brief slick spots on roads are possible, especially during evening and overnight hours.
The most significant snowfall is expected in higher elevations and nearby mountain passes, where several inches of snow could impact travel. While Spokane is not expected to see heavy accumulation, drivers are urged to use caution during periods of steady precipitation, particularly on bridges, hills, and untreated roads.
Simulated radar forecasts show widespread precipitation impacting Spokane County throughout the weekend. Conditions are expected to gradually improve late Sunday night, with precipitation decreasing into Monday morning.
Residents planning weekend travel or early Monday commutes should continue monitoring forecast updates, as small shifts in temperature could affect how much snow reaches city streets.
