Weather Warning – Cold / Possible Snow

The Northwest Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Special Weather Statement for colder temperatures and a chance of lowland snow from tonight through the weekend

The Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) is forming and we may see 0 to 3 inches of lowland snow (mainly above 400 foot level) accumulation late tonight through tomorrow.  NWS indicates this could impact from North Seattle along the I-5 corridor to Bellingham.

Areas at higher elevations and the further north/east in the region may see larger amounts of snowfall.  Also please note that accurate forecasting for snow relating to the PSCZ is very difficult; be prepared for some areas to receive amounts greater than 3 inches.

Drier conditions will move in behind these systems, but cold temps may keep any snow accumulations around as daytime highs will only make the mid-30s through Monday.

There also is a possibility of another round of snow on Saturday, but it really depends on which track this system takes.

Please be prepared for widely varied winter driving conditions throughout the County and allow extra time in your travels.
