Seattle and the Cascade Mountains are bracing for a weekend of snow and rain. The lowlands will experience rainfall, transitioning to snow at higher elevations. Winter driving conditions are expected.
Scattered showers are around for Friday night, but another round of rain increasing along the coast by the morning and spreading inland by the afternoon. Rainfall totals will range around .25'- .50'. The lowland rain will transition into snow at about 3500 feet. Chances for snow will continue into Sunday morning before drying out by the afternoon. After the wet start to our weekend, the extended models are looking drier for much of the West Coast, including western Washington.
As snow continues to pile up in the mountains, and folks are traveling over the passes, be prepared for winter driving conditions. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the mountains above 3500'. Our Cascade range could pick up 6-10' of snow this weekend. All of our ski resorts have picked up a little snow in the last 24 hours, with more snow falling Friday night and into the weekend. Skiers and snowboarders will enjoy some fresh powder! After a one-two punch of rain Friday and Saturday, the rest of Seattle's 7-day forecast looks dry. Pockets of sunshine and highs nearing 50 degrees into next week
