SEATTLE - The FOX 13 Weather Team has issued a Weather Alert Day for Friday morning. The cool wet pattern continues. Some communities woke up to lowland snow, especially at and above about 400 feet in elevation. Snow reports will likely come in from places like North Bend, Issaquah, the Renton Highlands, parts of Snohomish, areas along Highway 522 in Snohomish County, Bothell, and others. Even Sea-Tac Airport saw on-and-off snow as well.
The story today will be driven by microclimates and neighborhood-level differences. Some communities will see plain rain, others a rain-snow mix, and some wet snowflakes with little or no accumulation. Meanwhile, a few higher neighborhoods could pick up minor accumulations on grassy and elevated surfaces.
A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for some Cascade foothill locations until 3 p.m. Friday for an additional one to two inches of snow.
Minor additional snow is forecast in the Cascade valleys and foothills on Friday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Heavy snow will continue in the mountains with an additional 1 to 3 feet falling through Saturday evening. Avalanche danger remains very high in the back country of the Cascades. Mountain passes will remain difficult to cross. Be sure you are prepared when you are heading over the passes and monitor the ever-changing conditions.
Seattle weather will likely make pass travel difficult at times through Friday with snow continuing into early Saturday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
