There is a winter weather advisory issued by NWS Seattle starting at 4 a.m. on Dec. 26. Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass have the potential to see 6" to 12" of new snow.
NWS Seattle also issued a coastal flood advisory Thursday morning. This was due to the chance of tidal overflow as high tide happens during these earlier hours.
This next weekend, we can continue to expect temperatures hovering the low to mid 40s with overnight lows in the 30s.
