Washington’s Inland Northwest is under a gray, chilly sky this morning, and flakes are mixing with light rain across Spokane. Pavement along I-90 looks damp, and temperatures sit near 36 degrees. It only takes a brief burst of heavier snow to create slick spots.
The National Weather Service says a chance of snow continues through mid-morning. After that, a rain and snow mix develops before steadier rain arrives later today. Highs reach near 42 degrees. Little to no snow accumulation is expected in the city, but grassy areas could turn slushy for a time.
By tonight, rain lingers early before transitioning back to a rain/snow mix. Temperatures fall to around 32 degrees. Any leftover moisture could refreeze toward daybreak, especially on bridges and untreated side roads. This is the time of year when flash freezing creates surprise slick patches.
Wednesday turns mostly sunny with a high near 44. Southwest winds increase between 10 and 14 mph, with gusts up to 24 mph. Skies cloud up again Wednesday night, and lows settle near 32 degrees.
Thursday brings partial sunshine and a high near 46. Friday climbs closer to 49 under partly sunny skies. The warming trend continues into early next week, with highs pushing toward 50 by Monday. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures, hinting at early Spring Warmth across eastern Washington.
