Is it going to snow in Tacoma? What you should expect this weekend and the next several days

Tacoma, WALocal News

Residents of Tacoma should prepare for snow this weekend, with the National Weather Service forecasting an 84% chance of at least one inch falling between early Sunday and Monday morning. Meteorologist Harrison Rademacher explains that the snowfall is expected to be scattered, meaning some neighborhoods may see snow while others may not receive any at all. Following the potential snowfall, Tacoma will experience a significant drop in temperatures, with lows reaching the mid-20s throughout the following week. This transition to freezing conditions raises concerns about road safety, as icy patches could develop and create hazardous driving conditions for commuters. Rademacher emphasizes the importance of checking road conditions and staying warm, particularly for those who may be outside.

Moisture levels are predicted to diminish after the weekend, which may limit further snowfall. The article highlights the need for residents to stay informed and prepared for changing weather patterns. With winter conditions on the horizon, Tacomans are urged to take necessary precautions.
