Much of Western Washington is expected to see up to an inch or two of wet snow Wednesday, except areas north of Everett and near the Cascades, which could get significantly more.
Widespread lowland snow is expected to move into western Washington Wednesday afternoon and evening.WESTERN WASHINGTON — Much of Western Washington is expected to see up to an inch or two of wet snow on Wednesday before it later turns to rain. The exception is areas north of Everett and near the Cascades, which could get significantly more.Late Wednesday morning and afternoon, a strong warm front will be surging north past Portland and spread precipitation into the area.
We’ll likely see a northward-moving area of snow or a rain/snow mix even down to sea level as the precipitation moves in with the changeover to all rain occurring several hours after the onset of precipitation in any one location. Temperatures will actually go UP as the period of precipitation continues!Areas from about Olympia south shouldn’t have any significant accumulation of snow as temperatures will be warmer as the precipitation moves in late in the afternoon.
The fact that we turn to warmer rain as the evening wears on will limit the impact on the roads as brief accumulation of snow should be pretty quickly washed away or melted by the later rain. North of Everett and near the Cascades, this is going to be a potentially impactful period of snow on Wednesday evening and into Thursday morning. A winter storm warning has been issued for Whatcom County. A winter weather advisory has been issued for our foothill communities including North Bend, Monroe, Arlington and Black Diamond, and the Hood Canal.
In those areas, it will stay colder for longer so we could see 1 to 3 inches or more of snowfall with isolated higher totals. Whatcom and Skagit counties will likely see the most snow, up to six inches.
