SEATTLE — Sorry to all the snow lovers - Seattle is not likely to get snow this February.
KIRO 7 meteorologist Claire Anderson said the current forecast has an unfavorable pattern and a high pressure ridge is preventing temperatures from getting low enough to bring snow to the area.
What are the chances of seeing snow in Seattle this February? NOT likely-- forecast isn't looking cold enough. Also, how about 3 years ago when Feb. 2019 was the snowiest on record! On this day we had some major snow in downtown Seattle! @kiro7seattle #kiro7seattle #seattle #wawx pic.twitter.com/uhiHRK5bI3
