The National Weather Service warns that up to 12 inches of new snow is expected in the northern Cascade mountain ranges like Stevens Pass and Blewett Pass. The National Weather Service social media accounts issued the warning: "A pair of weather systems will produce snow in the mountains of the Inland Northwest today and tomorrow (Wed and Thu)." Even certain areas in the Washington State lowlands will be affected by some snowfall or freezing rain.
