Spokane, WA – Spokane, get ready for an interesting Thursday! If you’re up early, expect to encounter some patchy fog that could make your morning drive a bit tricky. The fog will likely stick around for a while, especially in areas near rivers, valleys, or rural spots, reducing visibility and possibly making the commute slower than usual. If you’re planning to head out in the morning, take it easy on the road, slow down, and keep your headlights on. Fog can sneak up on you, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
But don’t let that fog fool you into thinking it’s going to be a cold, dreary day. As the fog lifts and the sun works its magic, temperatures will start climbing. By afternoon, Spokane will see highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, which is a big jump from what we’ve been used to recently. After a long stretch of winter chill, it’ll feel like a breath of fresh air. So, while it might feel cool and damp first thing in the morning, by afternoon, you’ll be able to shed your heavy coat and maybe even go for a lighter jacket.
So, what’s causing all this fog?
It’s a classic weather setup. Cool temperatures overnight, combined with moisture in the air, create the perfect conditions for fog to develop. It’s just nature’s way of reminding us that spring is trying to peek around the corner, though it’s still a little shy. As the sun comes up, that fog will burn off, giving way to a warmer, more pleasant afternoon.
Here’s the bottom line for Thursday:
- Morning fog: Be careful if you’re out and about early. Drive cautiously, especially in areas near water or in more rural parts of Spokane.
- Warmer temps in the afternoon: Once the fog clears, temperatures will climb into the upper 40s to low 50s—a nice little taste of spring.
Thursday will be one of those days where you’ll start with a foggy, cool morning but finish with a warmer, sunnier afternoon. Just make sure to plan for the fog if you’re commuting early, and enjoy the milder weather as the day goes on. It’s a nice preview of what’s to come!
