Will Seattle see more snow this weekend?

What we know:

The next chance for lowland snow arrives early Saturday morning as a weak system pushes into the Puget Sound area. Temperatures should be cold enough for sticking snow on the roads, but accumulations are looking like they will be less than an inch. Be prepared for slick roads in spots if you are getting an early start on Saturday morning.

By the numbers:

Showers will taper off in the lowlands by midday Saturday, but 2 to 4 inches of fresh powder is expected in the mountains through the early afternoon.

Drier and even cooler conditions will stick around through the middle of next week. The next chance for wintry precipitation is next Thursday.
