A low pressure system off the coast of Oregon will continue to spin light showers into Western Washington the next three days. The heaviest showers will arrive late Friday night into early Saturday morning.

Thursday will bring showers and sunbreaks, with highs in the mid 50s. This is very typical weather for mid-March.

As temps cool in the lowlands, snow levels will drop this weekend down to 3,000 to 3,500 feet. That will mean some minor snow accumulation over the mountain passes and at the Cascade ski resorts.
