Cold Rain, Slim Snow Chances

Saturday morning was one of the coldest mornings in over a year in the lowlands. Take a look at our low temperatures.


Brrr!! Down to the 20s across most of the area!

Saturday night into Sunday will not be as cold, with lows of 34-37 degrees. In turn, the chance of snow is nearly nonexistent. 

In fact, the UW forecast model through 4 PM Tuesday shows no snow accumulation in the South Sound, with only some light accumulations (0.25-1 inch possible) in a convergence zone possible north of Seattle on Sunday night/Monday.


Although the chance of accumulating snow in the lowlands is unlikely, don't be surprised to see some snowflakes flying mixed with rain.

The best chances of seeing wet snow will be for those above 500 feet AND/OR in heavier showers where brief wet snow (likely non-accumulating) is possible.

The UW forecast for rain through 4 PM Tuesday is below, with 0.1-0.5 inches possible.


Stay tuned...as additional chances of rain/snow mix or brief wet snow are possible throughout the next week as colder than average temperatures continue.

Major impacts from snow are NOT likely in the Puget Sound Lowlands at this time.
