Seattle weather: Scattered showers continue on Wednesday
Scattered showers continue Wednesday, with snow levels dropping and several inches possible at Stevens and Snoqualmie passes.
SEATTLE - Earlier today, we were forecasting cloudy skies with widespread rain, and that rain was delivered across much of Western Washington.
As we moved through the afternoon, we expected scattered showers to continue, with a small chance for isolated, weak thunderstorms, primarily along the coast. Winds will be slightly breezy at times, but overall not predicted to be a problem.

Mountain snow ramps up in WA
By the numbers:
Up in the Cascades, a winter weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Thursday. We’re expecting seven to nine inches of snow between 3,500 and 4,000 feet, with higher totals the higher you go in elevation.
This doesn't include Snoqualmie Pass where snow totals will be lighter. Snowfall is expected to ramp up later this afternoon and especially tonight, so be sure to check road conditions and restrictions before traveling over the passes.
Avalanche danger is elevated in the backcountry, as well, so extra caution is advised.
Fewer showers to end the week
Tomorrow brings far fewer showers with mostly cloudy skies. We expect only isolated light showers Friday into Saturday, offering a relative break compared to today’s steadier rain.

What's next:
We’re tracking a slight uptick in rain chances on Sunday, and it could be a bit breezy at times. Then by Monday and Tuesday, noticeably cooler air settles in. There’s even the potential for a very minor, spotty rain-snow mix Monday night into Tuesday morning — no accumulation expected in the lowlands — but don’t be surprised if you spot a little "chunky rain" mixed in.
Seattle weather stays showery but not consistently heavy as we move into early next week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
‘Spring forward’ this weekend
Don’t forget — we spring forward Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time begins. That means 7 o’clock sunsets return starting Sunday night, giving us those longer, brighter evenings that signal we’re inching closer to spring.
Seattle weather could even bring a brief rain-snow mix Monday night into Tuesday morning, but no lowland accumulation is expected. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Take good care!
