This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Friday 01/10/2025 06:23:31 PST
SHORT TERM, today Friday into the weekend:
A frontal system will continue to move inland this morning and sweep across the Pacific Northwest throughout the day today, bringing in lowland rain and mountain snow alongside breezy post-frontal onshore winds.
Snow levels will fall to 3000 ft by late Friday, resulting in snow accumulation through Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes.
Confidence is high that Puget Sound Convergence Zone showers will form over the central Cascades later today into early Saturday morning which will locally enhance snowfall amounts.
Latest model guidance shows roughly 7 inches of snow through Snoqualmie Pass and 11 inches through Stevens Pass enhanced by convergence zone shower activity, and a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through early Saturday morning.
Lower elevations will see drying throughout the day Saturday, with lingering snow showers over the Cascades under moist northwest flow aloft. Snow levels will dip to roughly 2000 ft, though any additional snow accumulation amounts on Saturday will be light.
The rest of the region will see cloudy skies with some afternoon sun breaks and highs in the mid to upper 40s.
