SEATTLE – We forecast a wet and active pattern around Seattle and Western Washington on Saturday, followed by calmer weather on Sunday.

People in Seattle can expect scattered rain and mostly cloudy skies on Saturday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

At times on Saturday morning, traction tires were recommended for Stevens and White Passes. While there was a light rain/snow mix at Snoqualmie Pass today, the roads were simply bare and wet. Snow accumulations at Snoqualmie Pass this weekend are highly unlikely.

A winter weather advisory above 3,500 feet elevation is in effect until 10 a.m. Sunday for the areas highlighted below. By midday Saturday we are forecasting an additional 2-6 inches (or more) at Stevens Pass and another 2-7 inches (or more) at White Pass. The forecast area of ​​additional snow is intended to take into account where heavier bands of snow develop. The snow will gradually ease by midday on Sunday.

If you’re traveling over Stevens and White Passes on Saturday, be prepared for wintry conditions. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Today, mostly cloudy skies and isolated rain can be expected in the lowlands. Rain will become heavier around Puget Sound this afternoon. If you’re going to the Huskies game, be sure to bring warm, waterproof layers!

High temperatures in Seattle won’t rise to the low to mid 50s until Saturday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Rain will increase in the greater Seattle area by 5 p.m. Saturday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

The wet weather will continue in western Washington through Saturday night. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Tomorrow the sky will be partly to mostly cloudy. While a light shower is possible in the morning, most of the Seahawks game is expected to be dry as the sun increases. I would still advise you to have a rain jacket with you in case it rains again at the start of the game.

Things should stay dry for the Seahawks’ game in Seattle on Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Remember, we “fall back” on Sunday morning! Tomorrow’s Sunset in Seattle will take place at 4:49 p.m

On Monday, another system will target the region, bringing another round of lowland rain and mountain snow (generally, snow should fall above 4,000 feet elevation). It will also be windy on Monday – especially in the typical areas (e.g. North Sound and North Coast). There can also be rough surfing conditions along the coast. Stay tuned for more details as the time draws closer.

The weather will remain wet in Seattle for the next few days. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Fewer showers are on the way on Tuesday (Election Day!).

Drier, cooler and sunnier weather will prevail on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Highs for Seattle will be in the 50s all week. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Take good care of yourself!

Heartfelt,

Meteorologist Abby Acone
