Spokane, WA – Residents in Spokane should brace for wet and snowy conditions through Thanksgiving week as rain and snow are set to complicate travel. Forecasters warn of a 100% chance of rain Friday, tapering off overnight, followed by a mix of rain and snow starting Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service, steady rain will dominate Friday, with patchy fog making morning commutes challenging. Temperatures will hover near 49°F today, dropping to 39°F tonight. Saturday brings a 70% chance of rain early, with light snow possible overnight as temperatures fall to 34°F.
Drivers along I-90 and other major routes should exercise caution, particularly Sunday night into Monday when snow accumulation is expected near 2,200 feet. Travelers planning Thanksgiving trips are advised to monitor forecasts closely, as roads could become slick from freezing rain and snow by early next week.
Thanksgiving Day itself appears calmer, with only a 20% chance of rain and highs around 38°F. However, the potential for late-week snowfall could complicate post-holiday travel plans.
Plan ahead by keeping your vehicle stocked with winter essentials and checking tire tread before heading out. Pedestrians are also encouraged to use caution on slippery sidewalks.
