WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Latest outlook for snow

You might see a few flakes early Thursday morning, the National Weather Service says, but don’t panic. Its newest forecast update is out, and while we might see a bit of snow, the more-serious potential still doesn’t show up until late in the weekend – Sunday night or later. Also note that Tuesday’s high is predicted to be in the 20s! As we mentioned yesterday, the city has invited media to a preparedness briefing tomorrow, and we’ll be there.

My iphone thinks it’s been snowing since my bus commute.

Don’t worry, everybody. I just bought a snow shovel. That means it won’t snow now since I’m semi prepared. You’re welcome.

Thank you! They’re also helpful in other circumstances. I use ours to scoop up leaves in fall.

Haha yeah same. Didn’t have one last year and that was FUN.

I’m on Capitol Hill and there are beautiful fat flakes coming down. Too warm to stick though.

I love when we have snow. Last year was wonderful. I want a solid week here and then it can go away and I will drive to more of it

Its snowing at my house right now. I live up the hill from Lincoln Park. I love snow

Must be a microclimate because we’re at 300′, uphill and east of LP, and not seeing anything! But @westseawx on Twitter, who is closer to the “peak” elevation (500′), is.
