Weather

A small town about 45 miles southwest of St. Louis, called Villa Ridge, suffered damage when an EF-2 tornado damaged several buildings, including a Burger King.

A nearby disturbance will keep scattered showers around for Monday.  Much like today, the showers will be spotty, except for the north sound where a convergence zone will set up increasing rain chances in that location.  Rainfall amounts throughout the day will range between .10" to close to an inch along the coastal region.  Light snow will fall in the mountains.  While there is no winter weather advisory in place, drivers should be prepared for some slick roads through the passes. 

The upcoming week will bring cool temperatures, lowland rain showers and more mountain snow.

A violent storm has killed at least 33 people across several states. The massive weather system brought tornadoes, dust storms and blizzard warnings to millions of people.

Another round of scattered showers to close out our weekend.  Lowland rain will ramp up overnight Saturday with showers lingering into Sunday.  Overall, Sunday will be more dry than wet, but there will be enough instability that we may see some more isolated storms with lightning, small hail and brief downpours of rain. 

Less than a week out from the first day of spring, the National Weather Service of Seattle is forecasting the mountains will get hit with a foot to a foot-and-a-half of snow.

At least 18 people are dead across three states following a widespread and dangerous severe weather outbreak, which started on Friday.

A couple of key developments we are tracking heading into the weekend are winter storm warnings, mountain pass travel, and when to expect dry weather to return.

High winds and dry weather fueled wildfires in Oklahoma and Texas, with winds so strong they toppled several semis.

While drivers are looking to avoid the mess, skiers and snowboarders are rejoicing, as this weekend is expected to bring much mountain snow.

Unsettled weather around Western Washington continues into the weekend. A disturbance to our south will increase lowland rain chances and mountain snow beginning Friday night.  

A foot to a foot-and-a-half of snow is expected in the Washington Cascades this weekend.
