Friday brings more winds and a little mountain snow before a warming trend takes over for the weekend and early next week.
Plan Your Friday
It’ll be windy for a third straight day, gusting between 30 and 40 mph across the Columbia Basin and up to 30 mph elsewhere. Light snow is expected in the mountains with a little slush possible around Lookout, Snoqualmie, and Stevens Passes.
Despite it being a cloudier day than Thursday was, temperatures will be just as warm, maybe even a little warmer, in the upper 40s and low 50s. Clouds clear and winds calm overnight.
What We’re Tracking
A significant warming trend begins Saturday and continues through Tuesday as afternoon highs climb into the 50s and even touch the 60s in the LC Valley. Mid 50s are a strong possibility by Monday or Tuesday around Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. This stretch of dry weather ends Wednesday when the next storm arrives with valley rain and mountain snow.
