"Intense Winter Weather: Snowfall and Rain Expected Across Western States"

A strong cold front is causing the snow level to drop dramatically in western Washington and western Oregon, with the potential for lowland snow and heavy precipitation. Locations near sea level and east of I-5 could see a wintry mix, while areas above 500 feet may accumulate a quick inch or two of snow. Showers, graupel, small hail, and isolated thunderstorms are also expected. Snow will continue to pile up in the Cascades and Coast Range, prompting a First Alert Weather Day for both mountain ranges. Showery weather will persist through the weekend, with the potential for minor snow accumulation in the lowlands.

However, select sea-level locations may see one to four inches of snow by Friday, with the possibility of heavier snowfall in certain areas. Another round of precipitation is expected on Saturday, but its impact remains uncertain at this time.

NOAA's Winter Outlook: Snowy Surprises for Western Washington and San Antonio

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its winter weather outlook for Western Washington, indicating potentially warmer than average conditions with equal chances of above or below average precipitation. While El Niño years typically bring warmer and drier conditions, it does not necessarily mean there won't be any lowland snow events. The outlook simply suggests a higher statistical chance of warmer temperatures overall, but there can still be periods of below average temperatures that could produce snow.
