The big weather story this week continues to be the great snow we are seeing in the mountains. With snow levels staying mostly below pass level, the Cascades are set up for a prolonged stretch of impactful snowfall. While we continue to see a Winter Weather Advisory for the mountains until Tuesday afternoon, our attention is quickly turning to an impactful storm on Wednesday which will bring gusty winds to the mountains, creating near white-out conditions. Travel is discouraged on Wednesday night as a Blizzard Warning is in effect.
Gusty winds will create near whiteout conditions for the mountains Wednesday night.
The combination of heavy snow and periods of wind in the mountains will cause avalanche danger to increase through the week. With Wednesday's storm, very dangerous avalanche conditions could develop, especially in the Cascades and Olympics. Anyone heading into the backcountry should be checking the latest avalanche forecasts and exercising extreme caution.
Active pattern through the week with additional mountain snow. Mild by next week. (FOX 13 Seattle)
