The National Weather Service has good news — all those winter fashions you acquired in preparation for a chilly La Niña will come in handy this week. Here’s their Sunday night “Special Weather Statement:”
A COLDER AIR MASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION BY FRIDAY...RESULTING
IN LOWERING SNOW LEVELS ACROSS THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE NEAR
1000 FEET BY TUESDAY MORNING...HOWEVER HEAVY SHOWERS WILL LIKELY
DRAG THE SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO SEA LEVEL. THIS WILL BE THE CASE
MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE PUGET SOUND CONVERGENCE ZONE THAT IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP NEAR THE KING AND SNOHOMISH COUNTY BORDER. BY THURSDAY
MORNING...THE SNOW LEVELS WILL BE DOWN TO SEA LEVEL. THUS...ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF SNOW.
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WITH THE PUGET SOUND
CONVERGENCE ZONE OR WITH ANY SHOWER BANDS THAT DEVELOP THIS WEEK.
IT WAS STILL TOO EARLY TO TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH SNOW WILL FALL
BUT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A LEAST A FEW INCHES WITH THE HEAVY
OR PERSISTENT SHOWER BANDS.
