Nothing accumulating below 500', that's for sure. There's still a lot of time left for waffling but this one does not have the look of a snower for Seattle. A few main reasons: -Weak airmass. There isn't any really cold air to go by or tap into, with weak arctic air north of the border and 950mb temps hovering around 0°. We're talking about barely viable parameters for flakes to even reach the ground -Not very heavy precip. It doesn't look like rain will persist long enough nor at a high enough intensity to drag the snow level down to the surface as one would hope for during a marginal snow event -Daytime timing. Temps will keep in the mid-upper 30s assuming precip doesn't trend heavier, and what does accumulate even up to 800-1000' or so will melt/sublimate.

We are all needy! Thanks!!

Maybe there can be some good mountain snow down this way.
