Parts of region tagged -- again -- with late winter snow
EDMONDS, Wash. -- The green sweatshirts and Irish decor are done and have gone back in the closet, as preparations for Easter begin.
But winter? Still going strong.
A Puget Sound Convergence Zone formed in southern Snohomish and northern King County Sunday evening, bringing a period of heavy snow and lightning to the area.
Accumulations quickly reached around 1" as of 10 p.m. across parts of Edmonds, Mukilteo and South Everett. But as of 11 p.m., the zone was moving off to the north and east and weakening, and snow was beginning to melt as the temperatures bounced back into the mid 30s.
Outside the zone, all is quiet with partly to mostly cloudy skies. A few isolated showers are possible that could be snow, but no accumulations are expected outside the zone.
A few lingering rain or snow showers are possible Monday morning, then brief drying as highs climb into the mid 40s. More rain comes in Tuesday with milder air that will keep snow restricted to the mountains.
