Spokane and surrounding mountain passes were getting bouts of rain and snow as travelers made their way to their Thanksgiving destinations.
Meteorologists on Tuesday already were seeing snow move into Eastern Washington, according to National Weather Service meteorologist, Valerie Thaylor.
Higher elevations near Spokane could get up to 2 inches of snow, Thaylor said. Those areas include the West Plains or more north toward Deer Park.
In downtown Spokane, travelers will experience some mix of snow and rain, but the snow is not expected to stick, Thaylor said.
Temperatures will warm into the low 40s Wednesday and Thursday, but there also are chances of snow on Friday, according to the weather service’s forecast. As of Tuesday, it was snowing on the summit of Snoqualmie and Stevens passes
