Seattle weather: Cool and showery, with some mountain snow

I'm Chief Meteorologist Brian McMillan. We're going to continue to see on and off showers throughout the day today. They'll lighten up a bit. We'll get plenty of dry time in the mix as well. There's also a slight chance for thunderstorms as we see some sunshine kind of mixing in that atmosphere. Here is a look at our winter weather alerts up in the mountains through about five o'clock this evening. We have a winter weather advisory in effect. Our first snow of the season down at Snoqualmie Pass and we're also seeing snow at Stevens and White Passes. Yes, this is a is great. We're going to be continuing to see lower snow levels over the next few days through Friday evening. We could see another two to four inches of snow at the past levels, and this is right on time. Usually we average late October to early November, seeing our first snow of the season at Snoqualmie Pass. The latest we've had to wait was December 5th. That was back in 2002. All right, today we'll top out into the 40s and 50s. We're going to be looking at temperatures in the 40s and 50s east of the Cascades. You can expect mostly cloudy skies down in Oregon this afternoon. Tomorrow, cool showers continue. And then Friday, we'll see those showers wrap up just in time for the Halloween weekend where we'll be looking nice and dry and partly cloudy. But those nights are going to be chilly with temperatures down into the 30s for most of us. Have a great day.
