SEATTLE — Following strong winds and heavy rain in the Puget Sound region Sunday, a spring storm brought a burst of heavy snow to the mountains before the skies began clearing, allowing temperatures to drop below freezing Monday morning.

A Winter Storm Warning expired for the central and northern Cascades as did a Winter Weather Advisor for the southern Cascades. 

Snow levels dropped below 1,000 feet as colder air moved in overnight, creating the chance for some lowland areas to see a rain-snow mix.

The storm over the weekend brought strong winds that knocked out power in some areas and brought down trees as well.

Tree down in my yard from the wind. Large old oak. Took out neighbor fences only.

Some areas in north Puget Sound even saw some light snow coming down in the afternoon. 

Other areas in the Sound experienced a few scattered thunderstorms and brief downpours of hail throughout Sunday evening.
