Seattle – Saturday night’s convergence zone brought a light dusting of snow to parts of the lowlands, but the mountains scored big with the much-needed snow.  Amounts ranged between 7–15″ in our Cascades passes and ski resorts. 

Last night’s convergence zone brought more than 10″ of snow to the Cascades.

Calm winds and wet ground will allow for some fog to develop overnight.  With temperatures hovering around freezing, freezing fog and black ice may be possible.   Sunday afternoon will be partly cloudy and dry.

Another cool afternoon with highs barely making it out of the upper 30s and low 40s.  Layer up…especially in the morning when temperatures will be near freezing.

Overnight lows will be near freezing the next few days with drier skies.  Light rain chances return by New Year’s Day.

Chilly mornings with a break in the rain till the new year. 

If this sounds familiar, that is because both players were elevated to the active roster last week against the Los Angeles Rams as well. Akers is in line to play in his second game with Seattle after playing four snaps on special teams against his former team, the Rams. Akers’ elevation also gives the Seahawks a third running back behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.

With Charles Cross out this week due to injury, Josh Jones will start at left tackle. However, that leaves Seattle needing more offensive tackle depth as well. That is where Kight, the undrafted rookie out of Central Florida, comes in. This is Kight’s third elevation this season, which means the Seahawks would need to sign Kight to the active 53-man roster for him to play again.

SEATTLE – Snow continues to fall overnight in the passes. The convergence zone will remain active with higher totals along Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass. Snow accumulations may range between 6-12″. Road conditions are changing quickly, so be sure to monitor pass conditions before heading out. 

Moderate to heavy snow with totals 6-12″.

A push of colder air moves into western Washington Friday night. While some moisture is still left, there is a possibility of pockets of lowland snow and a wintry mix. As of Friday evening, we’ve gotten a few reports of 1-2 inches of snow accumulation from around Sultan eastward along the US 2 corridor, with higher amounts east of Gold Bar and closer to Index. The snow accumulations at the lower elevations in this stretch have been driven by the precipitation rates as the convergence zone moves through. Closer to the I-5 corridor, it was mostly just rain with some snow mixed in.

Rain and snow falling around the region with a chance of lowland snow in the foothills.

The Fraser outflow will ramp up tonight, pushing in cold air into western Whatcom County. A Cold Weather Advisory will go into effect from around 1 a.m. to noon on Saturday with wind chill readings between 12–20 degrees. Please be sure to protect your pets and people as this cold can be dangerous. 

Cold air spills into Whatcom County tonight with wind chills in the teens.

Friday night will be one of the colder nights we have seen so far this winter. Temperatures will be near freezing. Be sure to watch for some icy spots by Saturday morning on bridges and overpasses.

A drier weekend is ahead with chilly nights and foggy mornings. It will be a quieter end of the year with a few showers returning by New Year’s Day. 

Chilly mornings with fog. Drier to end the year.
