Lowland Snow Possible in Western Washington this Weekend

High pressure over southwest Canada will push cold air into Western Washington this weekend through the Fraser River Valley. Meanwhile an upper level trough over British Columbia will generate light precipitation across the region on Saturday. A warm front will then spread light to moderate precipitation through Western Washington Sunday through Monday morning. The best chance of snow accumulation will be in the north part of Western Washington where snow levels will be near the surface. Elsewhere, the higher hilltops and areas near the mountains may also receive a little snow.

There is still a lot of uncertainty in the snowfall amounts and the forecast details are subject to change.
