Drivers should be prepared for winter driving conditions beginning tomorrow through the weekend. Stevens could pick up close to a foot by the end of the weekend. Rain will generally be scattered and light with totals around .10".
A dry start to the year, but light rain will increase by Thursday.
Another cool night ahead as temperatures are forecast to dip into the 30s by Thursday morning. If the temperatures get cool enough overnight and the moisture increases, there is a chance that folks from around Everett to Fall City and northward could see a brief rain/snow mix early in the morning. No accumulations are expected.
