Small Chance of Snow Before Another Rain Event

Many locations around the South and Central Sound received some light snow this morning. This is still possible for the next two mornings. Any snow accumulations will be less than one inch and should not have impacts on the commute.

Lows these next couple mornings will be in the low-mid 30s. By Tuesday, temperatures begin to rise steadily. Tuesday afternoon/evening temperatures will stay in the 40s. With warmer temperatures, all precipitation will be rain.

One quick note...recent rain has continued to make soils saturated and it has kept the landslide threat high. With more rain this week, rivers will rise to near where they were this weekend (moderate flood stage). I visited Snoqualmie Falls on Saturday and captured this incredible picture of the falls in moderate flood stage. 

As we move in to this week, another rain event is likely. 1-3 inches of rain is likely through Friday. This will cause rivers to rise (again). Here's an outlook from NWS Seattle showing the expected weather through Saturday.

In our area of the lowlands, expect 1-2 inches of rain, per NWS Seattle. Here's another graphic showing expected rain.

One more note...snow levels will be lower with this storm, and 6-18 inches of snow are likely in the mountains, with snow levels rising by Wednesday (sparing Snoqualmie Pass). Be careful and check conditions if you are traveling on the passes.
