Seattle Area: Winter Storm Warning Update
National Weather Service update on the upcoming storm (9:20am PST Feb 7th):
https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=WAZ556&warncounty=WAC033&firewxzone=WAZ657&local_place1=2%20Miles%20S%20Redmond%20WA&product1=Winter+Storm+Watch&lat=47.6456&lon=-122.1283
TLDR: Expect snow accumulations of 5-10" falling mostly Friday night into Saturday morning, where strong winds (15-30 MPH with 40MPH gusts) will result in blizzard conditions.
Good news: The forecast temperature dropped enough that most precipitation should fall as snow instead of freezing rain (which would have guaranteed significant power outages).
