Winter isn’t loosening its grip on Spokane just yet, and the next few days will bring a little bit of everything—light snow, freezing temperatures, and some icy roads, especially in the mornings.
While we’re not looking at a major storm, the mix of on-and-off snow, overnight freezing, and cloudy skies could make for slick travel conditions throughout the week. If you’re heading out early or driving late at night, be extra careful!
Here’s What to Expect Over the Next Five Days
Friday, February 14 – Light Snow & Icy Roads
A few rounds of light snow throughout the day (1-3 cm possible).
High: 33°F (0°C) | Low: 24°F (-4°C)
Watch for icy spots, especially in the morning and after sunset.
What This Means: It’s going to be a cold one! Even though the snow will be light, any moisture on the roads could refreeze overnight, making morning travel slick.
Saturday, February 15 – Cloudy & Cold
Thick, low-hanging clouds all day with no sunshine.
High: 34°F (1°C) | Low: 29°F (-2°C)
Lingering ice could still make roads slick.
What This Means: A gloomy, chilly day, but at least no heavy snow! Just be cautious of black ice, especially on bridges and side streets.
Sunday, February 16 – A Little More Snow
Light snow in the afternoon (up to 1 cm possible).
High: 37°F (3°C) | Low: 31°F (-1°C)
Snowfall could create slick spots in the evening and overnight.
What This Means: More flurries, more cold, and more chances for icy roads. Even though accumulations will be small, it only takes a dusting to cause travel problems!
Monday, February 17 – More Clouds & A Few Flurries
Mostly cloudy with occasional light flurries in the afternoon.
High: 37°F (3°C) | Low: 28°F (-2°C)
A light breeze will make it feel even colder.
What This Means: Not much action, just classic Spokane winter gloom. Roads might still be slick early and late in the day, so stay cautious.
Tuesday, February 18 – A Brief Break from the Clouds, But Still Cold
Morning clouds will clear, giving way to some sunshine.
High: 34°F (1°C) | Low: 19°F (-7°C)
Coldest night of the week—watch for ice on the roads Wednesday morning!
What This Means: The sunshine will be a nice change, but don’t expect much warmth! Any leftover moisture on the roads will freeze hard overnight, making Wednesday morning especially slick.
