You thought that winter was over for Whatcom County? Not by a long shot
A storm sweeping out of Canada this weekend and into early next week will bring heavy snow to the mountains of Western Washington and possibly up to 4 inches of snow in the Whatcom County lowlands toward sea level in Bellingham.
Current forecasts call for snow or a rain/snow mix to start Sunday night and last into early Monday, possibly causing havoc for the morning commute.
Sunday’s storm could be breezy too, according to a National Weather Service online briefing Tuesday afternoon.
Snowfall estimates are between 1 and 4 inches, with about an inch of snow the most likely scenario, the weather service said.
Daytime temperatures Monday are expected to be in the mid-40s, so any snow that does fall likely will melt, the weather service said.
Another round of lowland snow is possible Monday night into Tuesday morning, according to the forecast.
Temperatures are likely to remain unseasonably cool with more precipitation than normal over the next 10 days, according to the long-range forecast for Northwest Washington.
