Washington – A chilly, gray start hangs over Spokane this morning, where temperatures in the upper 30s are brushing close to freezing, leaving a crisp feel and the potential for slick patches on untreated roads.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly sunny skies will take over through the day with highs reaching near 55 degrees. Light southwest winds around 7 mph will keep conditions calm, allowing for steady warming and improved travel across the region.
Across Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Airway Heights, early temperatures near 37 degrees may dip closer to 33 degrees in colder pockets. Bridges and shaded roadways could briefly turn slick, especially where moisture lingers. Drivers should stay alert during the morning hours and allow extra stopping distance.
By afternoon, sunshine breaks through more consistently. Roads dry out, visibility improves, and travel conditions stabilize along I-90 and local routes. It’s a quick transition from brisk morning air to comfortable spring conditions.
The weekend brings a stronger warm-up. Highs climb to around 63 degrees Saturday and push near 68 degrees Sunday under mostly sunny skies. Outdoor plans will benefit, though mornings will still start cool in the 30s.
Early next week continues the warming trend. Temperatures reach near 70 degrees Monday before easing slightly into the mid-60s Tuesday. Nights remain cool, with lows in the 30s and 40s.
Looking ahead, dry weather dominates, with no major storm systems expected in the short term. This stretch offers consistent, quiet spring conditions after the cold start.
Take it slow early, then enjoy the sunshine later. Are you seeing frost or just cold air this morning?
