On this holiday weekend, we're tracking a major ice storm over Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes. Thankfully, temperatures are warming up in the lowlands. This means that all the snow and ice is melting, giving way to wet roads. FOX13
Here's a look at this Ice Storm Warning in effect until 4 a.m. Sunday for Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes. Already today, there have been closures over Stevens Pass and for eastbound traffic along I-90 near North Bend at milepost 34. Stay tuned to WSDOT and FOX 13 for updates throughout the day. Up to one inch of ice could accumulate over these passes today, likely bringing down trees and power lines. It will be exceptionally difficult weather for drivers.
There's an Avalanche Warning in effect for everyone in red through this afternoon. Snowpack over the backcountry is very unstable. The Northwest Avalanche Center says that Stevens Pass, the eastern slopes of the Cascades from Chelan to just south of I-90 are at risk. Large, natural avalanches are in the forecast.
Otherwise, be ready for sloppy and soggy roads. As highs warm into the upper 40s and low 50s, ice will melt. We can't rule out localized street flooding where rain comes down heavily. Runoff is possible if storm drains are clogged.
