Spring in Spokane is giving us a little bit of everything this week—rain, snow, and plenty of cloudy skies. If you were hoping for sunshine, you’ll have to wait a little longer because Mother Nature has other plans. Expect chilly mornings, wet afternoons, and the occasional snow flurry as we move through the week.
Tuesday’s Forecast: A Little Snow, A Little Rain
Tuesday morning could start off with a few snow flurries, especially in the higher elevations around Spokane. But as the day goes on and temperatures climb, any early snow should turn into scattered rain showers.
- Morning: Mostly cloudy, with a chance of light snowflakes falling before noon.
- Afternoon: A few scattered rain showers, with highs reaching 50°F (10°C).
- Evening: Chilly and partly cloudy, with lows dipping to 29°F (-2°C).
Midweek Outlook: A Brief Break Before More Clouds
Wednesday might offer a small window of relief, with a little morning sunshine before clouds return in the afternoon. Highs will be around 52°F (11°C), and the low will be 36°F (2°C). If you need to run errands or get outside, Wednesday morning looks like the best time to do it!
Later in the Week: More Showers on the Horizon
By Thursday, it’s back to the usual cloudy and damp conditions. Expect a few showers throughout the day, with highs around 50°F (10°C) and lows dipping to 35°F (1°C). Another wet, cool day—so keep that rain jacket handy!
How Does This Compare to a Typical Spokane Spring?
If this forecast sounds familiar, that’s because it’s pretty standard for March in Spokane. The city usually gets about 1.83 inches (46.5 mm) of precipitation this month, with average daytime highs around 49.5°F (9.7°C) and nighttime lows near 30.6°F (-0.8°C). So while this week may not be exciting, it’s definitely on par with Spokane’s usual spring mood.
How to Prepare for This Week’s Weather
- Driving Conditions: Watch for slick roads early Tuesday, especially if snow sticks around for a few hours.
- Best Time to Be Outside: If you need to get things done outdoors, Wednesday morning is your best bet for drier weather.
- Layer Up! Even if it says 50°F, Spokane’s damp air and wind can make it feel much colder—so don’t be fooled!
This week is shaping up to be classic Spokane spring—cold mornings, scattered showers, and unpredictable skies. If you’re dreaming of sunshine, hang in there—it’s coming eventually! In the meantime, keep that umbrella, rain jacket, and warm layers handy. Stay tuned to Weather Now for updates, and stay dry, Spokane!
