This article discusses the anticipated weather changes for Snohomish County, focusing on Stevens Pass, which may see its first snowfall of the season by Thursday morning. A series of weather fronts is expected to bring significant precipitation, with forecasts indicating up to 6 inches of rain in the North Cascades due to an atmospheric river. The National Weather Service warns that temperatures will remain above freezing in the mountain passes, leading to slushy conditions for drivers. Residents should exercise caution as thunderstorms and wind gusts of up to 25 mph may accompany the rain. While the heaviest rainfall will primarily affect areas north of Snohomish County, river flooding is being monitored.

A brief dry spell will precede the arrival of the wettest weather system of the season. Local communities are encouraged to stay vigilant and prepared for changing conditions as autumn weather fluctuates.
