An atmospheric river and the associated warm front will bring some of the strongest winds and heaviest rain of the season so far on Friday and Friday night.
It will rain in most areas at most times of the day Friday and into Friday evening before tapering to showers overnight into Saturday.
Overall, the strongest wind looks to start during the daylight hours Friday, and be particularly strong afternoon into mid-evening before subsiding late at night. Down the Strait of Juan de Fuca and through Whidbey Island, it’ll be gusty Friday, but a late surge of westerly wind to 50+ mph could occur late Friday night into the wee hours of Saturday morning.By Saturday morning at daybreak, the strongest winds will be over in most locations, except east of the Cascades.
We have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect for this evening in the North Cascades above 4,000 feet, where we could see 6 to 12 inches of snow before snow levels rise.We’ll likely have some sun breaks on Saturday but less sun on Sunday. Snow levels will crash down to below 1,500 feet by Sunday, and while precipitation will begin to taper in the lowlands, it will continue to snow heavily in spots in the mountains where a Puget Sound Convergence Zone focuses snowfall.
Monday through much of next week, snow levels will be below 1,000 feet at times, particularly in the overnight and morning hours.
