An estimated 12 to 18 inches of snow is expected in the Cascade Mountains, and officials are warning of extreme winter driving conditions.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm warning for the Western Slopes of the Cascade Mountains and passes until 11 a.m. on Sunday.
Skiers planning to hit the slopes this weekend can expect fresh power with the Summit at Snoqualmie estimating 5 to 10 inches of new snow.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is advising extreme caution while driving in the heavy snow conditions.
