Thursday morning will start mild, blustery and cloudy with pockets of moderate rain. Wet weather could slow the morning drive. Early temperatures will range in the 40s. Highs on Thursday will reach the low 50s. Winds will ease a little midday after locally windy weather overnight.

While there could be a few inches of fresh snow at the mountain passes by Thursday morning, temperatures will rise above freezing throughout the day — melting away some of that freshly-accumulated snow. Unfortunately, snow levels will stay elevated through the rest of the seven day forecast.

Elevated snow levels are forecast this week in Washington.

Unfortunately, not much in the way of snow is expected for the ski resorts in Washington this week. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Showers are still a possibility on Sunday and Monday, but drier weather could be back on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

This weekend, there could be minor coastal flooding in the Salish Sea and Puget Sound.

Rain showers will continue through Saturday morning in the Puget Sound area.
