When Snow Will Arrive In Puget Sound Tuesday: NWS

ENUMCLAW, WA - It's not going to snow much, but it might snow enough to mess up your morning commute.

The National Weather Service on Monday afternoon released estimates of when snow might arrive in Puget Sound Tuesday morning. The storm will hit the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula near Forks around midnight, and then continue southeast until it hits the central Cascades around 6 a.m.

Some cities at the south end of Puget Sound - Olympia, Lakewood - won't get any snow. Areas north of Seattle and in the Cascades will generally get more. As of Monday afternoon, the area between Tacoma and Enumclaw was set to get the "most" snow at just 0.4 inches.

Here's the Tuesday morning forecast timing:

• 12 - 2 a.m. - Storm hits the Olympic Peninsula and pushes southeast
• 2 a.m. - 4 a.m. - Storm hits Puget Sound, first in Bremerton and Seattle
• 4 a.m. - 6 a.m. - Precipitation moves into the south sound, hitting Tacoma, Enumclaw, and Snoqualmie Pass

The National Weather Service predicts the snow will turn to rain in Puget Sound by mid-morning.
