The National Weather Service has updated its forecasts and issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Monday night into Tuesday. The NWS predicts Seattle could see enough snow to make things a challenge Tuesday morning:
Another round of precipitation will spread across the region Monday night through Tuesday. Snow levels will linger between 0-500 feet. Accumulations will be highly dependent on temperature and elevation. Near sea-level, expect accumulations primarily be on grassy and elevated surfaces, however road accumulations will be possible in heavier showers.
More snow would add to a wintry end for February after the midwinter break snow that fell last Wednesday and more that accumulated here Sunday.
While the forecast predicts less than an inch for places like downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, the NWS says the city lies within an “area with the potential for a Puget Sound Convergence Zone leading to quick additional accumulations.”

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority says it activated its “Severe Weather Response protocols” earlier this month and will extend the activation through at least March 9th. You can learn more about resources and cold weather shelter spaces here.
UPDATE 2/28/2023 7:45 AM: In a small update to social media, the NWS said the snow level will drop again this morning but accumulations will continue to vary widely. “As expected, snow accumulations out there this AM are HIGHLY dependent on the local temperatures and elevation. Going down from 200ft to sea level this morning,” the NWS representative said.
