Temperatures forecasted to drop below freezing in Seattle
Winter weather is not done pounding the Pacific Northwest. There are winter storm warnings for the Cascade Mountains, including Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes.
And it’s about to get really cold in our region.
Seattle’s forecast has temperatures dropping below freezing this weekend, starting Friday.
That’s when temperatures could top off at 21 degrees.
“The previous record high temperature that was the coldest was 29 degrees,” said Jacob DeFlitch, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
“So that certainly could break the record on that day. And it wouldn’t surprise me at least through the weekend, we also have those [record-breaking] days.”
DeFlitch said the record high for the day, 29, was set in 1963.
He said there are concerns about water on roads or sidewalks freezing. But the weather service doesn’t expect conditions like December 2022 when roads and sidewalks were icy and dangerous.
On Thursday, snow flurries were reported in Seattle and Kirkland.
DeFlitch said that cold weather turned rain into snow.
“It’s going to be hard to pinpoint where those heavier showers are going to be, and then how quickly we start to dry out,” DeFlitch said.
The heaviest amount of snow and the best chance for higher piles of it, he said, were likely south of Seattle.

From miners, lumberjacks and seamen to the world arriving on our shores this summer, Folio Seattle will host a program Monday night, with two local soccer scribes detailing the region’s collective footy history in “Seattle’s Road to the 2026 World Cup.”
Matt Pentz, a former soccer reporter for The Seattle Times and The Athletic, is teaming with historian Frank MacDonald, executive director for Washington State Legends of Soccer and occasional Sounder at Heart contributor. The program goes from 6-8 PM at the Folio location in Pike Place Market. Donations of any amount are accepted.
Pentz and MacDonald will dive into the state’s century-plus adoration of the game and highlight what’s changed in the last generation, since Seattle failed to land matches for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
