Washington wakes up to a damp, gray skyline as light flakes mix with rain across Seattle this morning. Wet pavement glistens along I-5, and temperatures hover near 34 degrees at Sea-Tac, cold enough for a brief rain-snow mix.
A chance of rain and snow continues through the day, especially before late morning. Highs reach near 45 degrees, but colder pockets could allow a few wet flakes to linger. Little to no snow accumulation is expected, yet slick bridges remain a concern. This is prime February “flash freezing” season. If temperatures dip after sunset, leftover moisture can turn icy fast.
Tonight, another chance of rain and snow develops before early morning. Lows fall near 33 degrees. Calm winds will not help dry roads. Plan extra time for the Wednesday commute.
Wednesday brings another round of mixed precipitation, mainly before midday, with highs near 43. By Wednesday night, rain and snow remain possible before 10 p.m., with lows near 33.
Thursday keeps the unsettled pattern going. A chance of snow appears before 10 a.m., then rain and snow showers continue into afternoon. Highs stay near 42. Even light bursts could create slushy spots north of downtown and in higher elevations.
Friday trends slightly drier with highs near 44 and a lingering chance of rain.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors near- to above-normal temperatures across Washington. That suggests a gradual warming trend into next week and hints of early spring vibes by the weekend and beyond.
