Snow ClosureLocal forecasts are calling for a chance of snow after midnight and through tomorrow morning. If you’ve lived in Seattle for multiple winters, then you know that snow predictions can vary from spot-on to wildly wrong, and they can change hour-by-hour.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 9pm tonight through 11am tomorrow (Saturday) morning, but note that snow is most likely north of us:

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW…WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 11 AM PST SATURDAY.

*SOME AFFECTED LOCATIONS…THE NORTH PUGET SOUND REGION FROM A   NORTH SEATTLE TO POULSBO LINE UP THROUGH ABOUT A PORT TOWNSEND   TO ARLINGTON LINE. THIS INCLUDES SOUTH WHIDBEY ISLAND AND FROM   EVERETT EAST TO THE CASCADES.

* TIMING…RAIN WILL CONTINUE IN A PUGET SOUND CONVERGENCE ZONE   THIS EVENING. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW FROM ABOUT LATE EVENING   ONWARD.  * ACCUMULATIONS…1 TO 3 INCHES.

* MAIN IMPACT…ROADS WILL BECOME SLIPPERY

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW MEANS THAT 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE.

There are a couple of events at Seattle Center tomorrow, in addition to the Seattle Winterfest activities. Expect traffic regardless of the weather, but if it’s snowy, be prepared for slick driving conditions too.

  • Seattle Marathon 5K Race, 8:30am-11:30am – Starts at 5th Ave N bet. Republican and Harrison; ends at Memorial Stadium. See course map for impacted streets.
  • Seattle Children’s Kids Marathon, 10am-11am – Starts at 5th Avenue and Harrison St; ends at Memorial Stadium. See course map for impacted streets.

Tips from Metro:

  • Sign up for Transit Alerts to receive notice of known service disruptions; however rapidly changing road, traffic and weather conditions make it impossible to know about every service interruption. It may not be possible to report on service that is affected on a per-trip or per stop basis.
  • Before traveling during bad weather, check Metro Online for the most current status of Metro service. Metro suggests that transit customers leave from a bus stop or park-and-ride that also has service when buses are on snow routes, in case travel conditions deteriorate later.
  • Know the snow routing for your bus route. Check the timetables at Metro Online for snow route maps for each route. Not every bus route has snow routing, but most do.

If it snows, enjoy, as it won’t last long. Dry, cold weather is next up in the forecast… but it’s still early in the season!
