Snow chances increase in Seattle this week, though accumulations remain unlikely. 40% of average snowpack persists in Washington, challenging ski resorts like Snoqualmie Pass. Up to two feet of snow forecast for Cascades could aid winter sports tourism. Early Monday brings spotty rain-snow mix in lowlands, with mid-40s highs and potential wet roads slowing commutes. Ski areas report spring-like conditions with thin coverage, underscoring the season's deficit. No significant accumulation expected in Seattle proper, but mountain snow offers hope for resorts needing a boost.
