West Seattle Weather Watch: Snow? In April?

No, we’re not saying that was snow that fell in the past hour – it was sleet/hail/graupel/whatever you think best describes what came down (thanks to Shelley for the photo!) – but that word is actually in tonight’s forecast, as a wild weather system moves through:

Tonight…showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms this evening… then mostly cloudy with a chance of showers after midnight. Some showers may produce small hail or light snow.

Perhaps even more notable than whatever falls from the sky – it’s cold! Lows in the 30s. But sun predicted for Friday!
