Washington – A crisp sunrise stretches over Spokane this morning as temperatures hover in the mid-30s and wind chill dips near 29 degrees. The air feels sharp, and any leftover moisture on sidewalks could turn slick in shaded spots.
Skies started mostly clear but clouds increase through mid-morning. Gusty southwest winds develop, reaching up to 33 mph at times. Drivers along I-90 should expect occasional crosswinds, especially on open stretches.
Despite the brisk start, gradual clearing returns later today. Highs climb to around 47 degrees. It’s cool but manageable for late February.
Tonight drops back near 33 degrees with increasing clouds. Friday remains mostly cloudy and breezy, topping out near 49 degrees. Winds may gust up to 26 mph, adding a biting edge to the air.
The weekend trends calmer. Saturday turns partly sunny with highs near 49. Saturday night dips to 28, raising a freeze concern for early blooms. Sunday brings bright sunshine and a high near 52 degrees. That’s the beginning of a noticeable warmup as March approaches.
Monday climbs to around 53 under sunny skies. By Tuesday, highs reach the mid-50s with increasing clouds. A slight rain chance appears by midweek, but no significant snow is expected for Spokane at this time.
While snow spreads across portions of the Northern Plains this weekend, eastern Washington stays largely dry. The broader pattern supports gradual warming into early March.
