This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Thursday 12/12/2024 06:01:41 PST

SHORT TERM, TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY: Current satellite shows a low pressure system spinning off the Oregon Coast bringing some high clouds into the region. This may help mitigate the fog in some areas and improve the visibility.

Radar imagery also shows light showers starting to move into the region from the south. The low pressure system is expected to move southward towards Northern California, thus keeping the majority of the moisture centered to that area.

As a result, rainfall amounts are expected to be light with this system on Thursday. Snow levels at the passes with this system are expected to be between 2500 to 3500 ft. Some light snow accumulation is possible, around 1 to 2 inches.

SHORT TERM: Good morning, western WA.

Active weather will persist throughout the day as a stout disturbance churns offshore. An upper-trough is lifting northeastward along with its associated 977 mb surface low about 125nm WSW of La Push. It'll continue before filling over Vancouver Island and SW BC this afternoon. With it, widespread rain, mountain snow, gusty winds and high surf/Coastal Flooding will be an issue.

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.
