Normal temps, rain expected to return early next week

The National Weather Service said another inch or two of snow is likely Friday night and Saturday and Sunday mornings in southwest Washington, south of Tacoma, when weak systems run into lingering cold air.

According to KING 5 meteorologist Rich Marriott, rain and warmer temperatures are expected to return to the area by Monday. We may see stormy conditions as the weather transitions.

The below-freezing temperatures led to falling snow in the Seattle-Tacoma area Thursday night into Friday morning. Most of the accumulation took place in Tacoma and further south.

The dusting prompted a snow day for kids at a handful of
south Sound schools.

The Washington State Department of Transportation reported that the Friday morning commute appeared normal, with no significant slowdowns or backups.

Light snow also is forecast through the weekend in Eastern Washington where temperatures are expected to remain below freezing until next week.

The Associated Press contributed to this report. This is a developing story.
