A Winter Weather Advisory was placed for areas around Hood Canal due to concerns the snow would affect bridges and roadways for drivers. That advisory was lifted at noon on Tuesday.

Most of the precipitation the area received since the overnight hours was closer to Hoquiam and Shelton. The weather system settling on Tuesday is on the weaker end. The system to follow is expected to be a bit stronger.

Throughout the rest of the work week and into the weekend, we are expecting some potential for precipitation – most of which will be in the form of spotty rain showers in an on-and-off pattern.

Looking ahead, temperatures this week will hover in the low to mid-40s for the afternoon highs. Overnight hours will be chilly with numbers in the low 30s, some places even in the 20s. 

Have a great day!
