Seattle weather: Mountain snow ramps up, lowland rain returning Sunday
SEATTLE - We saw a brief break in the rain on Saturday afternoon, with even a hint of blue sky popping out for a short time. This next disturbance will arrive by Sunday morning. Much like yesterday, the rain will move northward from the south through the day. More mountain snow is forecast to fall through our passes.
Another disturbance to our south will spread rain in from the south on Sunday.
With many taking to the roads to get home after the holidays, pay close attention to our passes as the snow will be heavy at times, especially in the southern Cascades and on the east side of Snoqualmie pass near Easton. Winter Weather Advisories and Warnings are in effect for Sunday.
Another round of heavy snow will ramp up in the passes on Sunday.
Our ski slopes picked up a few inches of fresh powder, with more on the way on Sunday.
The slopes saw 2-4" of fresh snow with more on the way Sunday.
Afternoon temperatures on average have been mild over the last few weeks. Sunday afternoon highs will top out in the low to mid 40's, just a slight bit below normal.
Afternoon highs will be a little cooler in the wake of the front Sunday morning.
Chances for showers continue into the new year with a brief break in the rain to celebrate New Year's Eve.
