...A CHANGE TO COLDER CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE LATER FRIDAY OR
SATURDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN CANADA THURSDAY OR
FRIDAY. WHILE WEATHER GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW QUITE A BIT OF
VARIABILITY...INDICATIONS REMAIN THAT CHANGES IN THE WIND FLOW
ALOFT ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY WILL ALLOW SOME OF THIS COLDER AIR
TO OUR NORTH TO FILTER INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON.

WEATHER GUIDANCE ALSO SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS SOME RISK OF LOWLAND
SNOW...OR MIXED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER PORTIONS OF WESTERN
WASHINGTON THIS WEEKEND. LATER FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT THE HIGHEST
RISK OF LOWLAND SNOW WILL BE WHERE THE AIR IS COLDER...OVER THE NORTH
INTERIOR. FARTHER SOUTH...THE COLD AIR WILL TAKE LONGER TO MOVE
INTO THE AREA...PERHAPS SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT AND IT REMAINS
UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT WHETHER THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
IN PLACE BY THE TIME THE COLD AIR FILTERS IN.

NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOU COULD PREPARE FOR
THE FIRST POSSIBILITY OF WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE
LOWLANDS. ARE YOUR TIRES READY FOR SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS? ARE YOUR
OUTDOOR PIPES AND FAUCETS WINTERIZED?

PLEASE MONITOR LATEST FORECASTS AND WEATHER STATEMENTS AS
CONDITIONS EVOLVE THIS WEEK.
