After an active morning of weather across Puget Sound, we're tracking pockets of snow for the rest of the day. Temperatures will plunge in a major way overnight. FOX13
We got reports of upwards of two inches of snow in Snohomish County this morning as bands of snow swept through Central Puget Sound. Snow coated the ground in Skagit and King Counties, too. Some snow fell over the Olympic Peninsula as well. Check out this picture over Sequim from earlier this morning.
As temperatures warm above the freezing mark this afternoon, any snow that accumulated in Puget Sound will melt and become slushy. Unfortunately, if roads aren't cleared and treated today, widespread ice is expected overnight and into Thursday morning. Be on the lookout for slick spots tomorrow, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Temps likely drop below freezing between 7 and 9 tonight.
Right now, it seems that a lot of rain/snow today will be focused along and south of Olympia. Snow and rain will also be on-and-off over the Olympic Peninsula, coast, the Hood Canal, Port Angeles and Sequim. Remember that snow forecasts are very challenging and subject to change. Check out the possible snow totals in the Winter Weather Advisory below:
One note: there's a High Surf Advisory in effect for the coast today, too. Breaking waves to 20 to 27 feet are possible, creating dangerous conditions.
