Spokane, WA – A spring storm will bring a mix of rain and snow to Spokane on Sunday, followed by a wet weather pattern into midweek. Drivers on I-90 should prepare for slick roads, especially early Sunday and again late Wednesday as colder air returns.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation will begin before 11 a.m. Sunday with a rain-snow mix changing to all rain in the afternoon. Snow levels may dip to 2,800 feet Sunday morning, with accumulation unlikely in Spokane proper but possible in higher elevations. Rain continues overnight with an 80% chance of measurable precipitation and gusty winds up to 18 mph.
Temperatures will rise to 63°F Monday under mostly cloudy skies before a new round of rain and thunderstorms develops Wednesday. Tuesday brings a brief break with partly sunny skies and a high near 69°F, the warmest of the week.
By midweek, rain and storms will stretch from Spokane to surrounding counties, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s. Showers may mix with snow again by Thursday night into Friday, especially in higher terrain.
Residents are advised to check wsdot.wa.gov for real-time road updates, especially if traveling east on I-90 toward Idaho where elevations climb quickly.
Key Safety Tip: Allow extra time for commutes Sunday and Wednesday, and be prepared for changing conditions in elevated areas.
This spring storm signals a colder start to the season across eastern Washington, with precipitation likely each day through Friday.
