Foothills Could See Snow by Mid-Week, Maybe Some on Kirkland's Hills

The Cascade foothills will likely get a dusting of snow on Wednesday night, as snow levels drop around the Puget Sound region, with a chance of snow on Kirkland's hills.

The National Weather Service forecast for Finn Hill, for example, says snow and rain showers are likely after 10 p.m. on Wednesday. The snow level will be 500 feet, and little or no accumulation is expected.

On Thursday, the snow level will continue dropping to 300 feet, but the chance of precipitation will also decrease, to 30 percent. 

Meanwhile, the mountain passes will see heavy snowfall into the middle of the week. Snoqualmie Pass is forecast to get 5-9 inches Tuesday and another 2-4 inches on Wednesday; Stevens Pass could see accumulations above 15 inches by Thursday.
