WEATHER Continued cold weather in the forecast, minimal snow on the horizon for the coast

Bellingham, WALocal News

Coastal Washington State is bracing for ongoing cold weather, with the National Weather Service providing updates on the forecast. While significant snow accumulation is not expected in the coming weeks, residents should prepare for low temperatures that will remain consistent. The NWS has indicated that there is no need for a Cold Weather Advisory at this time, as current conditions do not meet the threshold. However, a light dusting of snow could occur in the lowlands next weekend, with a 20% chance of precipitation. In the mountain regions, forecasts predict a more substantial 40% chance of heavy snow over the next two weeks.

This cool and wet weather pattern is likely to dominate February, impacting outdoor plans and local activities. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and adjust their plans accordingly as the weather evolves. The expertise of the National Weather Service provides a reliable source for these forecasts, ensuring the community is well-prepared.
