WINTER STORM WATCH issued for the Cascades of Lewis County. In effect from late Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Heavy snow possible above 3,000 feet with total snow accumulations of 6 to 24 inches. Difficult travel is likely. #wawx

A front is spreading some light rain into the metro area this morning. There will be a rain/snow mix in some locations this morning but accumulations are unlikely, especially on roads. A dusting is possible over the higher hills and away from the water. #wawx

All the heavy rain this weekend will also put extra pressure on soil instability, which leads to an increased threat of #landslides. For more information on Landsides, go to bit.ly/2mtA3wn. #wawx
