Seattle weather: widespread rainfall Sunday
Weekend weather forecast with Ilona McCauley FOX 13 News on March, 8 2025
Seattle - An atmospheric river will sag southward into Western Washington, increasing rain chances by the afternoon in the lowlands. Mountain snow will fall above 3500'. Rain may be moderate to heavy at times, especially near the coastal regions. Rainfall will slowly taper by the evening except for a convergence zone along the King and Snohomish County line.
Atmospheric river will increase rain around the lowlands and mountain snow.
Rainfall totals will be highest near the coast, but with spotty heavy downpours at times along the I-5 corridor, we may see close to an inch by the end of the weekend.
Rainfall amounts will total around an inch close the the coast with about 1/2 inch around the interior.
Snow levels will drop to near 3500' with snow forecast to fall along the Cascade range. Snow will be heaviest by Sunday evening through early Monday. The North Cascades may see up to a foot while Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass will see between 4-8". Be prepared for winter driving conditions through the Cascade passes.
Snowfall will total up to a foot in the Cascades, about 3500' on Sunday.
The unsettled weather pattern will continue through much of next week. While a few stray showers are possible on Monday, I expect it to be more dry than wet. A stronger disturbance will arrive on Wednesday with conditions turning wet and windy.
Increasing rain is expected on Sunday with cooler afternoons through next week.
