Spokane, WA – Freezing temperatures and a rain-snow mix are expected to impact roads across the Spokane area into Tuesday morning, potentially affecting early Thanksgiving travel. Commuters are urged to exercise caution as conditions could shift quickly, particularly on elevated routes and less-traveled roads.
According to the National Weather Service, a chance of rain and snow showers will persist overnight Monday, with snow levels dropping to 2,700 feet. Light snow accumulations may occur in areas where temperatures dip below freezing. Fog is also expected, further reducing visibility during early morning commutes. Drivers on North Spokane corridors and near higher elevations should prepare for slippery conditions and leave extra time for their journeys.
Looking ahead, rain and patchy fog will continue into Tuesday, giving way to dry but cloudy conditions by Thanksgiving Day. Tuesday’s high is expected to reach 43°F, but widespread fog could persist throughout the morning, complicating travel. By Wednesday night, colder temperatures near 29°F may bring additional snow flurries.
Thanksgiving Day is forecast to be mostly cloudy with highs near 41°F and patchy fog in the morning. For holiday travelers heading into the weekend, nighttime temperatures are expected to hover in the mid-20s, raising the risk of icy roads.
Residents are advised to monitor changing conditions and check local weather updates before heading out. Keep emergency kits in vehicles, especially if traveling to higher-elevation areas where snow is more likely to accumulate.
