Good morning. Washington. I'm Aaron Jolly. We picked up about two-tenths of an inch of rain overnight. Currently sitting at 38 degrees under gray skies. But the real story? The mountains are getting absolutely buried. Stevens Pass woke up under 8 inches of fresh snow. Another 6 to 8 inches falls today. That convergence zone along Highway 27 degrees is cranking out snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour this morning. Winter Storm Warning stays in effect until 5 A.M. Tuesday. Total accumulations through Tuesday morning: 15 to 27 inches. The rest of the Cascades see lighter amounts today, but this is just the warm-up act. A Winter Storm Watch kicks in Tuesday night through Friday morning. We're talking 2 to 4 feet of new snow. The National Weather Service is even mentioning possible blizzard conditions Wednesday into Wednesday night. Around Puget Sound, scattered showers continue through this morning. Snow levels hover around 500 feet early, then rise with daytime heating. Highs reach the mid 40s. South-southwest winds gust to 25 or 30 miles an hour this afternoon. Eastern Washington stays mostly sunny early, then a chance of snow develops after 2 P.M. Highs near 43 degrees in Spokane. Southwest winds gust to 25 miles an hour. South Sound sees rain and snow showers likely before 2 P.M., then thunderstorms possible between 27 degrees and 5 P.M. Highs around 45 degrees. Tonight, scattered showers continue. Another convergence zone may redevelop, bringing 7 to 9 inches of new snow to the northern Cascades. Lows drop to the upper 20s to mid 30s. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Tuesday stays cool with scattered showers. Wednesday brings heavy rain to the lowlands and heavy mountain snow. Strong winds develop Wednesday afternoon through Thursday — we're watching for gusts over 50 miles an hour in some areas. The wet pattern continues through the weekend. Spring equinox is just 11 days away, but winter's still got teeth. See you this afternoon.

Good afternoon. Washington. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel that damp chill cutting through your jacket. We picked up a tenth of an inch of rain overnight. And it's still falling. Temperatures are sitting at 46 degrees — about 27 degrees above normal for early March, but that wet cold makes it feel colder than the number suggests. Around Puget Sound, steady rain sticks with you through noon with highs near 52 before temperatures drop this afternoon. Down in the South Sound, rain wraps up by 4 P.M. With highs hitting 53. Head east and it's a completely different day. Eastern Washington sees partly sunny skies with a high near 57, but gusty southwest winds to 22 miles an hour with gusts hitting 38. Hold onto your hats out there. Tonight brings the drama. Snow levels crash from 6,000 feet down to 1,500 feet by early evening. Puget Sound drops to 36 with rain mixing to snow overnight. South Sound falls to 33 with a rain and snow mix developing. Eastern Washington clears out and plunges to 30 degrees. Monday turns active. Rain and snow mix across western Washington through the day. Highs struggle to reach the mid-40s. The Cascades are under a Winter Storm Warning with 1 to 2 feet of snow expected by Tuesday morning. Here's your week ahead. Wednesday brings the heaviest mountain snow and strongest winds, with gusts reaching 30 to 40 miles an hour statewide. Rain continues Thursday and Friday with highs in the upper 40s. The weekend stays unsettled with lingering showers. Don't forget — clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep but gain more evening daylight. See you this evening.
Good morning. Washington. I'm Aaron Jolly. Spring forward tonight, folks. You lose an hour of sleep but gain daylight. We're adding 3 minutes and 26 seconds today, with the spring equinox just 12 days out. And the weather's celebrating with a cold front sweeping through right now. Rain is spreading south this morning. Along the Puget Sound, steady rain through mid-morning, then breaking into showers by afternoon. High near 52 degrees. The real story? Winds. Southwest gusts to 24 miles an hour early, then shifting north by late morning. It's the kind of wind that'll find every gap in your jacket. Down in the South Sound, rain likely before 4 P.M. High near 53, dropping to 50 by afternoon. West-southwest winds 10 to 15 miles an hour, gusting to 22. Eastern Washington sees a completely different day. Partly sunny with a chance of rain after 11 A.M. High near 57 degrees. But those southwest winds are fierce — 14 to 22 miles an hour with gusts to 38. If you're driving, watch for crosswinds. Tonight, rain turns to a mix of rain and snow across the Puget Sound and South Sound. Lows drop to 36 in Seattle, 33 in Olympia. Eastern Washington clears out with lows near 30 degrees. Monday brings more rain and snow, especially in the mountains. Puget Sound hits 46. South Sound reaches 45. Eastern Washington stays cooler at 43 with a chance of snow between 11 A.M. and 1 P.M. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday night through Tuesday brings more rain and snow mix, with mountain snow piling up. Wednesday is the big one — heavy mountain snow, strong winds gusting 30 to 40 miles an hour. And rain for the lowlands. Thursday and Friday continue wet with rain and snow showers. Layer up if you're heading out. That wind will cut right through you. See you this afternoon.
Good morning. Washington. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel it. That damp, clingy chill at 44 degrees. We picked up about four-hundredths of an inch overnight. And those clouds aren't going anywhere. Rain spreads across the lowlands this afternoon. Not drizzle — actual rain. Puget Sound and South Sound take the heaviest hit, with a quarter to half an inch by tonight. Eastern Washington stays mostly cloudy, with just a chance of light rain after 4 P.M. Highs reach 50 around Seattle and Tacoma, 48 in Spokane. Tonight, rain fades to showers. Lows hold mild in the upper 40s west of the Cascades, dropping to 42 in Spokane. Saturday brings lingering showers, especially near the mountains. The coast and Puget Sound stay cloudy with highs in the mid-50s. Eastern Washington? Much nicer — mostly cloudy skies, near 60 degrees, with just a slight chance of rain. Breezy too, with gusts to 22 miles an hour. Now here's the heads-up for the week ahead. Sunday turns brutal. A strong cold front barrels through with gusts potentially hitting 50 miles an hour along the coast. Rain continues through early next week. And snow levels plummet. The mountains get hammered Monday through Thursday — 12 to 18 inches at the passes. Lowlands could see a rain-snow mix early Monday and Wednesday mornings, though accumulations stay light. Temperatures cool into the mid-40s. If you're heading to the mountains this weekend, conditions deteriorate fast Sunday night. Check pass conditions before you go. Stay dry out there. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.
