Spokane, WA – Washington residents can expect a classic spring pattern this weekend with sunshine dominating through Saturday before rain returns Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, calm and sunny conditions are forecast through Saturday evening, with Friday reaching a high of 59°F and Saturday topping out at 64°F. However, a 30 percent chance of showers moves in by late Sunday, potentially affecting travelers on Interstate 90 and other key routes in the region.
Temperatures will stay seasonable for early April, with lows dipping into the mid-30s at night. Winds are expected to remain calm to light, creating ideal outdoor conditions Friday and Saturday. Those planning hikes, yardwork, or road trips should take advantage of the dry window before the weather shifts.
By Sunday evening, moisture begins pushing back into the Inland Northwest. A 30 percent chance of showers continues into Monday morning, with precipitation chances increasing to 60 percent by the afternoon. Daytime highs will still hover near 60°F, but overnight lows fall to the low 40s.
Looking ahead to early next week, scattered showers are expected Monday night into Tuesday. Snow levels will rise from 3,900 to 4,800 feet, meaning mountain areas may see precipitation while the Spokane Valley stays wet but snow-free.
Drivers on I-90 should remain alert Sunday night into Monday, especially near mountain passes where changing conditions may impact travel.
