Spokane, WA – Streetlights shimmer on rain-slicked pavement this morning as steady drops continue to fall across eastern Washington. The sound of passing cars mixes with the low hum of drizzle — a familiar November rhythm returning to Spokane.
A wet weather pattern grips the region this week, keeping conditions soggy through at least Friday. The National Weather Service reports an 80–100% chance of rain each day, with snow levels near 4,300 feet early in the week, lowering toward 3,500 feet by Friday night. That means higher-elevation passes could see their first light accumulation of the season by Veterans Day weekend.
Highs stay mild, peaking near 55°F Wednesday and Thursday, but consistent rainfall and patchy fog will limit visibility and slow travel, especially along I-90 east of town. Residents should plan extra time for commutes and watch for slick conditions on rural routes.
By late Thursday, cooler air slides in behind the rain band, and a possible rain-to-snow changeover looms for higher ridges north and east of Spokane. Friday remains unsettled, with gusty northwest winds hinting at the next system’s arrival.
The weekend trend looks brighter, offering a brief window of sun Saturday before another wave of Pacific moisture returns early next week — part of a developing November storm train that could open the door to Spokane’s first measurable snow before Thanksgiving.
