Good Saturday Morning! We’ve got a couple areas of wintry precip continuing across the lowlands as of 8:30 AM…with moderate to heavy snow across parts of S. Snohomish & N. King Counties, along with another band of wintry mix and some snow for S. King County! #wawx

One last look at our rare March lowland snow from Federal Way! It snowed from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and I received 1.75" of very wet & slushy snow at 400 ft. elevation! And...temperature didn't get above 34º from 5:30 AM onward. What a day! #wawx

8:40 PM: Snow is tapering across the region, with lingering snow possible in parts of Eastern King County, especially near I-90. We're dealing with large areas of power outages too, especially from Maple Valley to Carnation and from Federal Way to Auburn. #wawx

5 PM Update from Federal Way as moderate snow continues! #wawx

4:45 PM: Snowing with slushy accumulation on side streets in Auburn! #wawx

7:45 AM Snowy Friday update from Federal Way!! #wawx

7:20 AM: It's snowing (at least rain/snow mix) for many of you across the metro area! Take a look at all the snow reports overlaid with radar to see the extent of snow (likely a rain/snow line across Pierce County). With temps in the 32-34º range, expect snow to continue! #wawx

6:40 AM: Snow has finally begun in Federal Way at 400 ft, after we remained above freezing all night and picked up 0.8” of rain. Now snowing big flakes and sticking to non-road surfaces! What’s everyone else seeing?! #wawx

11:15 PM look at surface temperatures and radar across Western Washington. A chance of snow and rain/snow mix remains, especially if temperatures drop below 34º. However, as usual in the lowlands, any chance is a marginal one, best shot is 500+ feet elevation. #wawx

Uncertain Lowland Snow Chance as Atmospheric River Continues #wawx youtu.be/3gmeyJ4jNcQ
