Today: clouds, showers and windy pockets
SEATTLE - Today we were forecasting highs in the upper 40s to the low 50s with mostly cloudy skies and a few sunbreaks mixed in. At times, rain was heavy, and other moments delivered quick glimpses of sunshine.
Earlier, we were watching for the possibility of lightning along the coast as unstable air rotated inland. We also monitored moderately forceful winds for the Cascade Gap communities like North Bend and the central and north coast, where a Wind Advisory expired before 10 a.m.
A wind advisory remains in effect for the San Juans until 3 p.m., where localized power outages are possible. Otherwise, while breezy, winds were not expected to be widespread or particularly problematic beyond those areas.
Overnight, we expect times of rain and lows in the 40s.
Seattle weather stays mild enough to avoid widespread frost but cool enough for a crisp start Monday morning. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Heaviest mountain snow Sunday night into Monday morning
We forecast mountain snow to continue today, but particularly ramp up tonight into Monday morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Stevens, Snoqualmie and White Passes where between five and 12 inches of snow could accumulate between 8 p.m. tonight and Monday morning. The accumulations depend on where the strongest bands of snow develop.
Seattle weather could create difficult Monday morning travel conditions across the passes with heavier snow bands developing overnight. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Pass travel could be challenging at times Monday morning. Check WSDOT restrictions before traveling!

Early Monday looks quite rainy before showers decrease in coverage by the afternoon and evening.
