Wenatchee, WA – Residents across the Wenatchee area, including Chelan and Waterville Plateau, should prepare for snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches starting late Tuesday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Spokane, the winter weather advisory is in effect from 10 p.m. Tuesday through 10 a.m. Wednesday. Cities affected include Wenatchee, Cashmere, Entiat, Leavenworth, and Chelan, with snowfall potentially impacting the Wednesday morning commute.
The snowfall is expected to create slippery road conditions, particularly along major routes such as U.S. Highway 2 and State Route 97. Commuters are advised to reduce speeds and allow extra time for travel. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) urges drivers to check for updates at wsdot.wa.gov/travel.
Typical February weather in north-central Washington often brings light snow, but this system’s timing could cause widespread disruptions during peak morning traffic hours. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on changing conditions and ensure vehicles are winter-ready with proper tires and emergency supplies.
