Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, April 23rd.
Folks, kick off your day with a heads-up on the weather thats shaping our plans today. Expect partly cloudy skies with daytime highs in the low to mid-50s, but its a bit unsettled out there lingering winds from the southwest at 10 to 20 miles per hour, plus isolated mountain thunderstorms and showers possible into this afternoon before things taper off by Friday. Lows dip to around 41 degrees tonight, so grab that light jacket for evening walks along the riverfront. Sunrise was at 5:47 this morning, with sunset at 7:49, giving us plenty of daylight to enjoy.[2][5]

Outdoors lovers, brace for some tough news from the Washington Department of Natural Resources. State budget cuts totaling about 8 million over the past two years are forcing closures of recreation sites, including full shutdowns at 11 campgrounds like Rock Lakes right here in our region. Thats over 20 percent slashed from maintenance and staffing, hitting our weekend getaways hard and reminding us how vital funding is for keeping these spots open for families and hikers.[1]
On a brighter note, construction is buzzing at the Spokane County PATH Crisis Relief and Sobering Center on North Cedar. They broke ground earlier this month on a 21 million expansion thatll add a new 23-hour crisis relief service, consolidating care under one roof to better support folks in need. Set to open by spring 2027, its a real step forward in streamlining help for mental health and recovery, making our community healthier one connection at a time.[4]
