Easter brought with it some interesting weather. Definitely not the sunny and 60-degree weather we saw on Saturday. Sunday's wintry conditions will push into the first week of April.
The cold front that brought Sunday's rain and wind moved through bringing much cooler air and dropped overnight temps into the 30s. A wet snowflake can't be ruled out this morning down to 500 - 1,000 feet. Luckily, there isn't much moisture left so little to no accumulation is expected.
The next issue is in the mountains (central Cascades) where over a foot of snow fell overnight. Another one to three inches are expected this morning before the snow lets up. Travel through the passes could be tricky, so check with WSDOT before heading out.
Although Monday will start out a bit cooler, with a few lingering showers, the sun returns later this morning. Tuesday looks nice with lots of sunshine and slightly warmer temps. Rainy, but warmer, weather is expected mid-to-late week.
KING 5 viewers shared their wild weather on Sunday, as if Mother Nature was playing an April Fools Day prank on us.
On Sunday, light showers were off and on throughout most of the day, but areas around Puget Sound were mostly in the rain shadow. The area that saw the most precipitation was along the convergence zone (King-Snohomish County line) later in the day, where showers were widespread.
While everyone else was getting a break in the rain, the convergence zone shifted south over Seattle where isolated thunderstorms produced small hail (approximately 7:15 p.m.). Most locations will see showers (and winds) decrease, but the convergence zone showers stuck around through last night.
