Taking a live look now
from Bellingham to Tacoma,
the rain and wind is expected
to pick up again tonight and
over the next 24 hours.
Let's get a full check of our
forecast now with Adam. Yeah,
the rain, the wind and the mountain snow.
That's probably gonna be the biggest
point with this system coming in.
So we were kind of eased into the
workweek today with some of those
light off and on showers and some
snow up across the mountains too.
We're gonna show you that in a second,
but wanted to let you know over the next 36
hours trying to travel through the passes.
You're good for the early evening
and for the earlier part of tonight.
I think it's gonna be a more so late
tonight and probably more into the
earlier half of Tuesday that we really
start to see the snow come on down.
It's gonna be heavy at times heavy and
at the same time that wind is going
to start to kick up reducing some of
the visibilities before we eventually
start to see this head out of here late
Tuesday night and into early Wednesday
morning snow levels around 3000 feet.
So Snoqualmie,
we're right around that point.
We're going to keep an eye out for
some heavier snow there,
but I think it's Stevens Pass and
might get the hardest hit with
some of these areas of snow.
Snoqualmie right now looking live
there you can see cloudy skies,
some areas of light rain and snow.
Snow levels up a little higher
here for the time being,
but it's been nothing but
snow up around Stevens Pass.
As you can see the highway
covered with some of that snow.
It's a light coating,
but we are going to get the
heavier snow later tonight.
Right now we're dealing with temperatures
in the mid 40s here in Seattle,
winds coming out of the South at 15,
so they're beginning to pick up a little bit.
Shouldn't be as high as Friday,
but they definitely will be noticeable here
as we go throughout the next 24 to 36 hours.
Temperatures mid to upper 40s.
Around a lot of Puget Sound,
a couple of 50s too,
like in Hoquiam, we're at 51 there.
Oak Harbor,
we're sitting at 50 degrees.
And Speaking of those winds,
you can see those coming out
of the South and the southwest
anywhere between 10 to 20 mph.
So breezy for your evening
plans if you're heading out,
but if you're driving in from the South,
heading north,
get some pretty nice gas mileage there.
Satellite and radar pictures showing
some of the areas of rain that are
still moving through relatively light.
And this first round that we've had
around throughout a lot of the day,
well, it's beginning to fade.
We still have the main band that is.
Off of the coast,
and it's gonna start to bring in some
of these showers here, but along Hwy.
101,
you can see some of those showers
there right along the western
slopes of the Olympics,
plus noticing some of that too,
generally from South Sound.
Southward is where we keep the
best chances here into the early
half of the evening,
second part of the night, everyone else
will start to get in on the action.
Now this area of low
pressure moves out of here.
We get the second one right behind that.
That's going to be the one that really
brings in quite a bit of the moisture.
And there's even another one well off
towards the West, out over the Pacific.
Going to keep things active this week,
but I think the next two are the ones.
They really start to bring in a lot
of the rain and the mountain snow.
So as far as the snow up
here across Whatcom County,
we have winter storm warning out
starting up at 4:00 AM tomorrow morning.
Snow elevations are going to be above
3000 feet where we could see anywhere
between a foot to two feet of snow.
Then you go farther S all the purple
shaded areas where we have winter
weather advisories out same times.
We're talking 4:00 AM tomorrow morning
until 10:00 AM heading into Wednesday.
Same snow levels to around 3000 feet
and above lesser amounts of snow that
we're expecting into these parts.
Bulk 8 to 18 inches.
And I think that higher end will
be closer to Stevens Pass where we
could see some of that convergence
zone action happening.
And then with some of the heavier
rain that we're expecting tonight
into the day tomorrow,
some of that runoff from the
South slopes of the Olympics,
we could see some flooding concerns,
areas closer to rivers, creeks, streams.
You could start to see some of
those water levels rise just a bit,
not expecting it to be a widespread concern,
but keep an eye out for some of that
and if you live in a flood prone area,
could keep an eye out for some
of that as well.
So for tonight,
you can see some of that
starting to come on in.
Here we are at about 9:00.
10:00 o'clock starting to see that
pick up rain shadowing here from about
Mount Vernon down to Everett will keep
those mouths a little lower at first.
Everett will start to pick up with
the convergence zone coming in
right behind that as we go into
the afternoon hours for tomorrow.
So they'll pick us up around 1/2 an inch,
maybe an inch of rain.
Your 7 day forecast 40s the
next couple of days,
a lot of rain tomorrow
quite a bit of wind as well.
We'll see that taper off to a
few showers early Wednesday.
Drier Wednesday and Thursday.
Wet again by Friday.
