Several weather systems are en route to the West Coast in what the National Weather Service is calling a “parade of frontal systems.”

Check the mountain pass cams

Meteorologist Dustin Guy says a strong system is approaching the Puget Sound region, which will result in heavy rain in the lowlands and snow in the mountains.

A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of Northwest Washington, including Mason County.

A Winter Storm Warning for the Cascades is in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday about 2,000 feet.

A Wind Advisory for the north interior and San Juan Islands is in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday. Sustained winds of up to 35 mph and gusts up to 45 mph are possible.

KIRO 7 Meteorologist Nick Allard says we will get a short break on Wednesday with a few showers. The next system is expected to move in Thursday, with rain continuing through the weekend.
