Spokane, WA – Washington residents should prepare for a soggy start to the week as a rain-snow mix returns to Spokane late Sunday into Monday. Overnight temperatures will drop to 36°F with rain likely after 5 a.m., potentially mixing with snow around 3,000 feet. This fast-moving system will affect both commuters and outdoor plans, especially in higher elevations.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday brings a 40% chance of rain under mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 65°F. Winds will shift southwest at 6 to 11 mph, potentially gusting higher in exposed areas. Limited visibility and wet roads may create travel delays along I-90 and surrounding Spokane County routes. Motorists are urged to slow down during morning hours and use headlights where visibility drops.
Tuesday and Wednesday offer brief spring-like relief. Daytime highs will reach the upper 60s and low 70s with partly to mostly sunny skies. However, more showers arrive late Wednesday, continuing into Thursday with snow levels dipping as low as 2,800 feet. Breezy conditions and intermittent precipitation may linger into Friday.
This week’s weather swings are typical of early spring in Eastern Washington. Residents should stay updated on changing conditions, especially near mountain passes and foothills. Keep rain gear handy, layer clothing for temperature changes, and monitor local alerts.
