Chilly wintry temperatures not done in Seattle

We’re tracking an incoming cold front Sunday evening which is triggering widespread lowland rain and mountain snow. By Monday morning, there will be far fewer showers. In fact, only spotty sprinkles are possible tomorrow. However, slightly steadier rain could make a comeback by Wednesday. In general, we’re tracking cool, cloudy and damp weather this week.

Until 5 a.m. on Monday, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the Central and North Cascades, including Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes. In the areas highlighted in purple below, there could be snow accumulations of four to twelve inches. The highest totals will fall over the highest elevations and under stronger bands of snow. Mount Baker will be one of the winners of this event. Stevens Pass will likely see between four and eight inches of snow (if not more). Snoqualmie Pass will probably see less than five inches.

Snowy weather can be expected over Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes Sunday night.
