Heavy snow is expected to continue into Friday morning and the lowlands could see some as well. It’s why the KIRO 7 meteorologists have called for a Pinpoint Alert Day.
Most of us will "see" snow tonight into the morning, but most areas below 500' elevation less likely to have accumulation. Areas from Seattle metro east and south seem favored as precip will be heavier, overcoming melting. More @KIRO7Seattle at 11. #wawx pic.twitter.com/9cxrtuwvhQ
