“I heard from a friend of mine that it’s going to snow soon! I’m so excited!”
“Did you hear the big news? It’s going to snow next week!!”
Yes, you and I, and about half the state, have heard the buzz going around this past weekend that there is a chance for some snow later this week. I’ll get to that bit of the news, but first, let’s tackle the weather for the next couple of days.
Monday night we will have some lingering showers with temps in the low 40s and breezy around the sound, winds anywhere from 20 to 30mph. For Tuesday, showers should taper off by mid morning and we will remain mostly cloudy and dry for the remainder of the day. We should also see the winds begin to die down by morning hours.
Wednesday brings another rain maker for the lowlands, and the possibility of some HEAVY snow for the mountains. It will get breezy again around the northwest. Thursday has the potential for some lingering showers passing through the area and overcast skies.
And now the cold scenario everyone is dying to hear about. Models have indicated that the time frame of Friday to Monday will be encompassed with some cold air filtering in from Canada. AT THIS POINT, this does not look like a major snow event for the lowlands. Snow levels will be dropping to the 500-1000ft level. Some localized areas may see some flurries, especially up in the north like Whatcom County. The mountains will certainly see some snow if there is moisture falling.
To figure out specific details, 72 hours is a good mark for forecasters to say where and when we might see snow. So stay tuned!
Now go tell your friends and family who have all been spreading those rumors about the worst snow storm in years. This will be a marginal event at best.
