A special weather statement has been issued by the National Weather Service of Seattle at 3:52 pm. The statement includes the cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
…Lowland snow possible beginning Tuesday night…
Moisture from an expected Pacific frontal system is expected to spread into Western Washington Tuesday night. The air mass will initially be cold enough for precipitation to begin as snow. At least 2-4 inches could accumulate before turning over to rain Wednesday morning. However most computer models are inconsistent and it’s very possible the storm surface low could track further south, which would generate much greater snow fall accumulations.
I will continue to watch for any watches or warnings and further weather statements and or changes in the forecast. Be prepared for extreme winter weather, possible power outages as wind may be associated with the surface low depending on its tracking. Make sure all outdoor water fixtures are still winterized and make sure you have at least a 3 day food and water supply. These types of storms are very difficult to predict, and can be very surprising to even the most experienced meteorologist.
