Seattle is unlikely to see snow on Christmas, but the Cascades are expected to receive snowfall. The forecast includes updates on wind, flooding, and temperatures for the Seattle area and surrounding regions.
If you're dreaming of a white Christmas in Seattle this year... I hate to break it to you, but as of Thursday, the chances for snow in the Puget Sound lowlands on Christmas are looking quite small, if not non-existent entirely.Temperatures this year look too mild in the lower elevations for precipitation to fall in the form of snow. However, it'll be a different story in the mountains.
The Cascades could see periods of snow ahead — beginning along Stevens and White Passes this weekend and including Snoqualmie Pass starting on Christmas Eve.Keep in mind: there's still plenty of time for the holiday forecast to change in any direction.

Otherwise, winds won't be an issue.We're still tracking some flooding concerns — particularly over the Skokomish River in Mason County. In the forest-green colors, flooding could develop over rivers, creeks and streams.The 50s are on repeat in Seattle through Friday and Saturday. Tomorrow, even fewer showers are on tap. There may be a couple of sunbreaks in the mostly cloudy skies.On Saturday, scattered showers will develop in Western Washington.Sunday’s forecast is looking damp and murky. Dress in waterproof layers if you’re going to the Seahawks game!The weather for the week of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa will likely be wet, active and occasionally stormy. Right now, it doesn’t seem like any storm will produce major impacts. However, there may be rounds of mountain snow that could affect pass travel. In some areas next week, winds could gain strength, but there’s still uncertainty about how things will pan out. We’ll be watching the latest for you closely.
