SEATTLE — Additional chances for lowland snow are in the forecast for Tuesday morning. 

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through Tuesday at 10 a.m. for the southwest interior, north and central Washington coast, Chehalis Valley, Bremerton and Hood Canal area.

Some of this wet snow, or a rain/snow mixture, attempts to sneak into Seattle and Everett late Monday morning. No accumulations are expected in or around Seattle but a coating of wet snow is possible for the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsula.

A coating of snow was recorded in downtown Seattle with 1.6 inches recorded at Sea-Tac Airport, which is higher in elevation and farther away from water than downtown.
