Snow may linger after second storm in Puget Sound region

Dec 5, 2016, 12:34 PM

The snow showers that led to a relatively small amount of accumulation — or none at all — in some areas of western Washington is just the beginning, according to the National Weather Service.

Cold air coming down from the Fraser River Valley into the Pacific Northwest is expected to cause even colder temperatures Monday evening. The Weather Service says snow showers will be possible at sea level and could continue into Tuesday morning.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Josh Smith says cities such as Sequim and Port Angeles will likely see snow accumulate. Areas north of Seattle could receive a few inches as well, he says.

If a Puget Sound convergence zone forms, it could result in 1 to 3 inches by Tuesday, according to the Weather Service.

It will remain cold as well. Smith says we’ll have lows in the 20s and highs in the 30s. That means if snow does fall it could stick around for a while, which would be quite the opposite of what many experienced Monday morning.

Though it did snow in several areas of western Washington on Monday, there was relatively little accumulation. About 1-2 inches fell in Lewis County. Olympia received a slushy inch or so. Shelton and surrounding areas were also hit.

Low temperatures are expected to continue through Wednesday morning, according to the Weather Service. Due to the freezing temperatures, black ice will be possible on some roads.

And it won’t end there. The National Weather Service says a storm system will affect the region Thursday. Though snow hasn’t been ruled out, some forecasts are calling it more of a windstorm. However, it’s “still an uncertainty,” Smith said.
