WeatherWatcher: special advisory

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a special weather statement in effect for an area including Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

Special Weather Statement: Snow showers are possible later this week. 

A cold upper level low pressure system is forecast to move southeast out of the gulf of Alaska and over the Pacific Northwest late Thursday through Friday. This system is expected to generate showers over the area with an associated air mass cold enough that some of the precipitation may fall in the form of snow across parts of the lowlands. 

This is a hit or miss system, it is expected to cause spotty showers, which means spotty accumulations if any. Day time high temperatures are expected to be above freezing, and this early in the season the ground is still rather warm so any accumulations are not expected to last long.

That is the end of the special weather statement.

There is talk out there about a high pressure in the interior of Alaska and Yukon Territory that may generate record challenging low temperatures for that area. This low pressure system, depending on how it tracks, or a future weather system could pull or suck down some of this cold air into our area bringing temperatures below freezing. The next week or so could be interesting, and not as predictable as always.
