Seattle's weather is finally settling into its spring pattern after a recent brief cold snap with snow. While the city itself can expect clear and sunny weekends, the Cascade Mountains are still seeing snowfall. However, meteorologists say these precipitations only slightly make up for the overall snowpack deficit observed this season.
On Thursday, Seattle will experience windy conditions with gusts up to 30 miles per hour and variable clouds, but by the weekend the sky will clear completely. Meanwhile, mountain passes have received between 4 and 12 inches of snow over the past few days. In particular, Stevens Pass and Mount Baker could pick up an additional 4 to 10 inches of precipitation through the end of Friday.
Despite the mountain activity, the accumulated snow is still insufficient to make up the seasonal normal. A winter weather advisory remains in effect through Friday morning for parts of the Cascades in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
