More North Sound Snow – Then Milder Temps – Everett Post

More snow is directed to the North Sound. A weather system tracking southeast along the British Columbia coast is expected to distribute moisture over the cold air mass floating over the North Sound overnight through Thursday morning. Precipitation is expected to fall as snow and impact Thursday morning commuting.

One to ten centimeters of fresh snow is expected, with higher amounts possible in remote areas closer to the Cascades. Temperatures will be moderate to some degree on Thursday, rising just above freezing for the first time since Christmas Day.

The snow will subside on Thursday afternoon and evening as the weather system heads south and low temperatures drop to around 20 degrees. The sun returns on Friday with highs only climbing into the lower to mid 30s.

The holiday weekend promises relatively moderate temperatures. The next weather system will spread more moisture on land on Saturday, with precipitation likely starting as snow. In the late day or evening, the snow turns into rain when warmer air rushes inland and this cold snow episode comes to an end. On Sunday normal rain with maximum values ​​of over 40 degrees is announced.

When the snow and ice melt on the weekend, make sure the rain drains are cleaned so that the melt can drain somewhere and there is no local flooding or water jams on the roads.

Looking ahead to January, the danger of cold and snow is not over yet. The view until mid-January maintains above-average temperatures and above-average rainfall. The expected weather pattern during this time will show at least low amounts of snow in the mountains, with the risk that they will come close to sea level at times.
