The forecast remains on-track today but with lingering uncertainty in exactly how much snow will accumulate across particularly the lower elevations this evening into Thursday.

This will help usher in milder weather for us after the slight cooldown yesterday. Later today the next storm system we are watching will come ashore into the Pacific Northwest.
