More Snow: Winter Weather Watch For Western Washington

SEATTLE, WA - Forecasts for more snow did not pan out Monday night into Tuesday, but the National Weather Service doesn't take chances: the agency released a winter storm watch for the entire region on Tuesday night.

The storm watch goes into effect Thursday morning into Friday and affects every city in Western Washington between Bellingham and the Oregon border. The weather service says a weather system will bring precipitation over Western Washington beginning Thursday night. What will start off as snow will likely turn to rain by Friday, the new forecasts say.

Right now, the weather service is saying 4 inches could fall in "most locations in the interior lowlands." Meanwhile, the Hood Canal could get up to seven inches.
