Seattle weather: Cool and wet first weekend of spring

Rounds of heavy lowland rain Friday night will transition into mountain snow in our passes. Traveling through the passes will be difficult through early Saturday morning. Some spots could see up to a foot of snow with this current storm. If you can delay travel over the passes until late Saturday morning, conditions will improve by then. Heads up for drivers over Stevens Pass, it will be closed at 4 a.m. on Saturday for avalanche control.

What’s next:

Overall, Saturday is forecast to be drier with pockets of sunshine later in the afternoon. Afternoon highs will still be slightly below normal in the upper 40s and low 50s.

Saturday afternoon's forecast around Western Washington.

Drier times ahead for Saturday. Better travel conditions over the passes.

The weekend will end on a wet and breezy note. Look for rain to increase along the coast on Sunday morning, then move into the interior lowlands by late morning and through the rest of the day. Snow levels will start lower around 2500′ but will quickly rise to near 6000′ later in the day. Some rivers will rise as a result of the heavy rain and runoff.

A soggy and breezy end to this upcoming weekend.

Rainfall ramps up once again on Sunday, leading to a wet and breezy day to end our weekend.

A few lingering showers remain on Monday, but Tuesday will be by far the nicest day this week with near record warmth. Unfortunately, it’s short-lived with some cool wet weather returning by the end of the week.

Gray and cloudy weather persists in Seattle into this upcoming weekend.

We’re forecasting cool, cloudy and wet weather at times this weekend in Seattle.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
