Seattle weather: South Sound snow for Thursday
Seattle weather: Another cold night, snow possible
FOX 13 Seattle Meteorologist Ilona McCauley is tracking cold temperatures and possible snow and rain in the latest western Washington weather forecast.
Cold temperatures again overnight into Thursday morning. But, not as cold as the previous two nights. It will still be just 26 degrees overnight, but we won’t break any records. As we start the day on Thursday, it will be cold, and clouds will start to make their way in around midday. Those clouds will bring snow to the south coast and south Puget Sound.
But just how much snow will we get? Almost everyone Tacoma northward won’t get a thing. But we could see 2+ inches in places like Aberdeen and Centralia. By the late afternoon there will still be some snow flurries, and even on Friday morning another quick band moves through in the morning. But after that it will all turn to rain as we move into the holiday weekend.
Another issue is the wind. It is very windy tonight and tomorrow in the foothills communities. Actually you will feel the wind wherever you are. Gusts are expected near 50 mph in some spots.
The full moon is the Snow Moon. Here is a picture of the snow moon from Snoqualmie, WA. The photo is at the Old Millpond, with Mt. Si in the background.
Here is the 7-day forecast.
It looks like things start to warm up into the holiday weekend. The overnight lows will be in the upper 30s and low 40s with the daytime highs in the mid to upper 40s. That’s still below average, but it will feel a lot warmer. With the warmer temperatures we have some rain too over the weekend and through the middle part of next week.
Have a great day!

Anyone waiting for the ferry, taking a stroll along the revamped Seattle waterfront or visiting the Seattle Aquarium just got a new option for finding a sweet treat: Ben & Jerry’s is coming to Pier 54.

The permanent shop announcement comes after Ben & Jerry’s operated a pop-up at the waterfront location last simmer.

VIDEO: Mayor Wilson proposes renewing, expanding Seattle Transit Measure by doubling the sales-tax percentage that funds it.
Through the end of this year, 0.15% of the sales tax you pay funds the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure. That would double to 0.30% if the City Council and Seattle voters approve the renewal/expansion that Mayor Katie Wilson officially introduced this afternoon. She said it’ll make living in Seattle more affordable by enabling more people to “live car-free or car-light.” She acknowledged that raising the sales tax isn’t ideal but noted that it’s one of the few revenue-raising tools available under state law. Besides paying for more transit – 280,000 additional Metro bus trips a year, 100,000 more than the current measure funds – it also would pay for 22,000 free ORCA transit passes, more than double what the city provides now, said acting SDOT director Angela Brady during the announcement event at City Hall. The passes are now available to Seattle Promise scholars, low-income Seattle Preschool Program families, and Seattle Housing Authority residents. The measure’s renewal/expansion would also make those passes available to Housing Choice Voucher participants.
The mayor’s announcement says the Transit Measure isn’t just about buses: It also would “support the design and delivery of Sound Transit’s West Seattle Link Extension, Ballard Link Extension, and Graham Street Station.” The 0.30% sales tax would generate an estimated $138 million average per year for the 10 years of this measure, which is proposed to go to voters in November. Council review starts this Thursday and will be led by District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka, who chairs the council committee that oversees transportation. We’ll add the specific text of the proposal when we get it; the slide deck for Thursday’s council meeting is now available, and we’ll add some highlights from that soon.
