Spokane, WA – A calm start to the week will quickly shift into potentially hazardous weather conditions by midweek as gusty winds and thunderstorms are forecast to roll through the area. Monday and Tuesday will remain dry with temperatures reaching into the upper 70s and low 80s. However, the situation will change dramatically by Wednesday as a strong system is expected to bring showers and a chance of thunderstorms, especially in the evening.
According to the US National Weather Service in Spokane, the biggest concern midweek will be strong gusty winds and localized thunderstorms, particularly along Interstate 90, impacting visibility and road conditions. Drivers are urged to exercise caution on Wednesday, especially during peak travel times in the evening.
Temperatures will drop significantly from Thursday through Saturday, with lows expected in the 40s and a possibility of frost forming by Saturday morning. Those traveling in the Cascade region should prepare for cooler temperatures and potential frost, particularly in the higher elevations.
