Residents in Spokane, WA, should brace for freezing temperatures as a frost advisory is in effect from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Thursday. Temperatures as low as 32°F could result in frost formation, creating potential hazards for roads and sensitive vegetation.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory covers various parts of Eastern Washington, including Spokane, Pullman, and Deer Park. Those traveling on major roadways such as I-90 should take precautions as frost could create slick conditions during the early morning hours. Sensitive outdoor plants should also be protected to prevent frost damage.
This advisory will be followed by a sunny Thursday with highs reaching 69°F, but temperatures will dip back down to 38°F overnight. Heading into the weekend, Spokane is expected to experience warmer, dry weather with a high of 66°F on Saturday and 74°F by Sunday.
Next week, temperatures will gradually rise, providing some relief from the early fall chill. However, residents should remain prepared for any rapid weather changes as the season transitions. Take steps now to protect plants and drive carefully if frost forms on the roads.
