SPOKANE, Wash. – The morning begins gray and damp, rain tapping rooftops and pooling on cold pavement across the Spokane Valley. Streetlights glow dimly through mist, and a bite of cold air lingers—reminding residents that early winter isn’t far off.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, steady rain will taper later today, with highs near 54°F before clearing by late afternoon. Behind the front, much colder air filters in tonight, setting the stage for patchy freezing fog and slick bridges across I-90 and Highway 2 by early Thursday. Drivers should use caution, especially through shaded valleys and rural low spots where black ice can form near dawn.
Thursday brings partial sun but a sharp chill, with highs only in the lower 50s and fog reforming after sunset. A shallow inversion may trap cold air near the surface through Friday morning, creating widespread frost before a return of light rain by late afternoon.
For Halloween Friday, Spokane’s Trick-or-Treat weather looks damp but manageable—light rain or drizzle possible through the evening, with temperatures near 48°F and calm winds. Costumes with warm layers are advised for kids and parents alike.
The weekend turns wetter and windier as another Pacific system pushes inland. Rain likely continues into Saturday, tapering briefly Sunday before another system looms early next week.
To be fair, Spokane’s weather has flipped to November mode early.
After all, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, and a chilly November is knocking at the door.
