Winter weather seen on radar as it approaches from the south

The winter weather event approaching the Ferndale area from the south can be seen on weather radar entering Washington State.

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory yesterday forewarning of the potential for one or more inches of snow beginning later as a result of a system arriving from the south later today. This advisory is in effect until noon tomorrow.

Well ahead of the snow and impacting the Ferndale area currently are high winds. A Wind Advisory issued earlier today forewarned of strong winds with gusts to 50mph. The wind advisory is in effect until 8pm this evening.

UPDATE: The National Weather Service says “this band is not the main snow maker that is still expected for this evening.”
