Another chilly weather system arrives Saturday night... The next weather system will reach Western Washington Saturday night. A low pressure system will drop down out of the northwest and move over Southwest Washington. The snow level could be low enough for some areas in the lowlands to see snow. Snow will fall in the Capitol Forest near Olympia. The hills around Shelton and up along Hood Canal could see heavy snowfall. The hills around the Seattle-Tacoma metro area might see a couple inches of wet snow. Low elevations near the water, like downtown Seattle, should see little or no accumulation. The coldest air will remain up over Whatcom county--but northern areas will probably see the least amount of precipitation. The track of the weather system could change, so stay tuned to current forecasts.
