9:30 a.m.: Snow falls in Seattle on Monday
According to FOX 13 Seattle's Chief Meteorologist Brian MacMIllan, we could see more quick-hitting snow showers on Monday morning.
What we know:
The heavier the showers, the better chance for some brief sticking (evening to the roads). A rain/snow mixed shower is expected Monday afternoon as temps warm into the upper 30s.
Tuesday morning’s commute will be similar to Monday morning (maybe worse). We could have an icy/snowy go.
