Early Signs For Snow Next Week & A Lot More Rain: Puget Sound Forecast
SEATTLE — Puget Sound is in for another stormy end to the week before the coldest temperatures of the season arrive, bringing along a small chance for some early November snow at lower elevations.
The National Weather Service is tracking an atmospheric river that forecasters expect will pour over Western Washington from Thursday evening through the weekend, dumping two to three inches of rain across the interior by Saturday evening. Widespread rain and strong winds are in the forecast Friday and Saturday, with some area rivers like the Skykomish potentially reaching moderate flood stage.
While snow levels should stay above 6,000 feet Friday, they will likely drop to pass level throughout Saturday. The latest forecasts predict Snoqualmie and Stevens passes will pick up 6 to 10 inches of snow by early Sunday. From there, things could get even more interesting.
"As colder air moves into the area, temperatures area wide are going to drop, with the coldest temperatures of the season (thusfar) expected," wrote Mary Butwin, a meteorologist at NWS Seattle. "Low temperatures in the upper 20s to mid 30s and highs in the low to mid 40s are expected for the low elevation areas. Temperatures will be slightly warmer directly near the area waters."
