SPOKANE, Wash. — Strong winds brought in much cooler temperatures on Friday, and it's going to stay cool not only for the weekend, but into next week as well. Fortunately we're done with the really strong winds. Though it may be breezy from time to time, wind gusts will max out around 20 mph.
Saturday will start off with sunshine (and chilly temps in the 30s for areas north of Spokane), but showers are expected to pop up during the afternoon over the higher terrain of Northeastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle. Spokane missed out on these showers on Friday, and will likely miss out on most of the wet weather on Saturday as well. If we do get under a shower, it will be brief with little to no measurable rain. Rain chances increase Saturday night into Sunday, but even then rainfall totals are expected to be under a tenth of an inch. We certainly could use some more wet weather, as rainfall year-to-date is more than an inch below average.
Highs will only be in the low 60s for Saturday and Sunday. We'll see a brief bump in temperatures on Monday, with expected dry weather highs should top out near 70 degrees. Rain chances return for mid-week though, and knock temperatures back down into the lower 60s again.
