West Seattle Weather Watch: Wind advisory and – possible snow?

March 19, 2013 at 9:52 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle weather | 4 Comments

Might get windy tomorrow – the National Weather Service has a wind advisory in effect for our area from 9 am to 11 pm, with wind out of the southwest that might gust to 45 miles per hour. Rainy too, tapering off in the afternoon, when thunderstorms are possible. If that’s not wild enough – check out the outlook for Thursday, the forecast says rain and snow showers are possible – with a snow level around 500 feet, the elevation of Seattle’s highest hills (including the Myrtle Reservoir area).

  2. If it happens, it might be partly my fault. This morning I tweeted/FB’d that it looks like the last day of school really will be June 14th, since winter was ending with no snow days. And someone replied “Did you just jinx us?” OTOH, we’ve had a few false alarms this year and this might just be another one. Gonna go hide behind one of those chained-to-stop-sign “Snow Closure” A-boards now …

  3. That’s just irresponsible journalism, jinxing us like that. You better hide! ;)

  4. Any snow that does fall will likely NOT accumulate due to surface temps being to warm and road surfaces well above freezing. Cold pool of air aloft will allow for heavy showers of rain/snow/hail and graupel but VERY little to NO accumulation.
