Seattle weather: Cold start to Thursday
As we start the day on Thursday, it will be cold, and clouds will start to make their way in around midday. Those clouds will bring snow to the south coast and south Puget Sound.

The first half of Thursday will bring increasing clouds and gusty easterly winds funneling through the Cascade gaps. Winds could reach up to 50 mph at times in the foothills near the I-90 corridor.
Wind chills in these areas could reach the teens and single digits at times. Winds will slowly calm down as the day goes on.

A band of precipitation will push north into the south Puget Sound area by the early afternoon, bringing a chance of wet snow to areas in the central and South Sound.
The best chance for accumulating snow will be from Tacoma south, but anyone could see flakes in the air around the evening commute.
What's next:
Another round of precipitation will set up overnight, bringing a better chance of sticking snow.
An overnight dusting is in the forecast for the greater Seattle area, with the chance for a bit more by early Friday morning in the south Puget Sound area.

Temperatures will warm up again on Friday with regular rain set to hit western Washington starting Saturday afternoon and continuing through the long weekend. This system will bring widespread rain and some much-needed mountain snow.
The wet pattern will continue through the middle of next week as temperatures slowly warm day by day.
Temperatures will slowly warm heading into the holiday weekend, but lowland rain and mountain snow is on the way. (FOX 13 Seattle)
