Rainy Weather Returns to Seattle, Wet Snowflakes Monday?

After a week and a half stretch of dry weather across the Seattle region, a plume of moisture aims to bring a bout of heavy rain into the area beginning late Saturday night.
Rain will increase in coverage and intensity into the day on Sunday. At first, snow levels will be very high, above 5,500 feet.
Travelers returning from holiday activities who are planning on crossing through Snoqualmie or Stevens Pass on Sunday should allow for extra time as rain will be falling heavily.
Fog and rain will lead to reduced visibilities which can cause travel problems. Localized flooding is possible, especially in the foothills and mountains as upwards of 3-6 inches of rain falls.

In Seattle, the rain will be somewhat lighter, with about 1-2 inches expected through Sunday evening.
Colder air will filter in behind the rain, causing a changeover to snow to occur in the Cascades Sunday night.
There can even be some wet snowflakes in parts of the city Monday, especially in the evening. No accumulation is expected in Seattle, but temperatures will be falling into the 30s for the remainder of the week.
Highs Tuesday through Friday will likely hover around the 35-degree mark with lows each night in the middle 20s.
