SPOKANE, Wash. – The Inland Northwest has been hinting at the chance of snow in the region as temperatures drop leaving some to wonder if Spokane will get a white Thanksgiving.

According to the National Weather Service of Spokane there have been nearly 20 white Thanksgiving’s since 1954. Of all the snowy Thanksgivings 8 of them had over 3″ of snow.

While the city of Spokane has yet to have snowfall ‘stick’ in the region many local mountain ranges are seeing snowfall. Mt. Spokane reported nearly 21″ of snow at the base of the mountain on Tuesday.

The last time Spokane had a snowy Thanksgiving was in 2022 and reported 1-3″ across the region.

Weather patterns this year do not provide a hopeful outlook for snowfall this year in Spokane with the high expected to be around 41 and lows expected to be 30.

Although the promise of snow in the wider region cannot be called off just yet. The Idaho Panhandle has a more hopeful forecast as lows will dip to 24 degrees in the area and will only warm up to 32.
