Lowland Rain and Mountain Snow
A Winter Weather Advisory is posted for the Cascades through tomorrow afternoon. Snow is expected to accumulate at pass elevation through tonight. Up to 10 inches is possible in some mountain locations this evening. Use extreme caution if you plan to travel over the mountains this evening or tomorrow morning.
Those 4 words “lowland rain and mountain snow” continue to summarize the weather for several more days.
A strong area of low pressure continues to spin off the west coast of Washington and will throw more precipitation across the area on Monday. The low will generate windy weather at the coast and continue to provide moisture for snow in the mountains. Rain tomorrow will spread across Puget Sound from the southwest and the area could see another .25″ to .50″ of precipitation on Monday. Snow depth in the mountains continues to increase this week with several inches at pass level possible for Stevens Pass and Snoqualmie Pass. Use caution if your travel plans take you over the Cascades for the rest of this week.
Temperatures for the next few days will average a little below normal, but no significant cold weather is expected in the lowlands.
After a wet day on Monday we will see more showers on Tuesday and more snow in the mountains.
The extended outlook into next weekend shows the possibility of a break from the rain and snow by Saturday.
