Long-term: Active weather will continue into the coming week.

Precipitation: The bulk of the precipitation will hit the mountains later today and continue through the night. Snow will taper off during the day tomorrow. A Puget Sound Convergence Zone is expected to enhance snow fall in the Hwy 2 corridor north. (i.e. Stevens Pass to Mnt Baker)
Freezing levels: Freezing levels will fall to 3000’ tonight. Freezing levels are expected bounce back up to near pass level tomorrow night and Monday.
