Washington — Crisp air gives way to fast-warming sunshine this morning, setting up one of the warmest stretches Spokane has seen in weeks.
Clear skies early today quickly transition into a bright, dry afternoon with temperatures climbing to 76 degrees. Roads across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, and Cheney remain dry, offering smooth travel along I-90 and US-2 through the morning and midday hours.
According to the National Weather Service, calm winds and stable air keep conditions quiet today, with no precipitation expected. Visibility stays high, and no weather-related delays are anticipated for commuters or flights at Spokane International Airport.
This is part of a broader warming system building across the Pacific Northwest, pushing temperatures well above seasonal averages into early next week.
By Saturday and Sunday, temperatures rise further into the upper 70s and near 80 degrees. Pavement heats quickly in the afternoon, which can create glare for drivers along I-90, especially near downtown Spokane and low-lying stretches near the Spokane River.
Dry conditions continue into Monday, with highs reaching near 81 degrees. The extended warmth increases early-season pollen levels, which may impact outdoor plans and air quality for sensitive groups.
Drivers should stay alert for sun glare during afternoon commutes and remain hydrated if spending extended time outdoors.
No rain is expected through at least Tuesday, keeping roads consistently dry but increasing dust in rural and construction zones.
5-Day Outlook for Spokane:
Saturday: 79° | Partly sunny
Sunday: 80° | Sunny
Monday: 81° | Sunny
Tuesday: 81° | Sunny
Wednesday: 82° | Sunny
