CHEHALIS – Most of the interior lowlands of Western Washington will see light snow or flurries this morning, but little to no accumulation is expected, according to the National Weather Service.

Roads will be slippery as temperatures will likely stay near freezing, the weather service says. This includes the Interstate 5 corridor from the north end of the Pierce county line southward.

White Pass schools are closed today, with most other school districts in Lewis County reporting they will start two hours late. School districts in Toledo, Winlock and Castle Rock are closed today as well.

Precipitation is expected to change over to rain by late morning.

Temperatures in Chehalis are 34 degrees this morning, having climbed from a low of 18 degrees yesterday morning.

Some, but not all, Lewis County schools share late start or closure information on the website Flash Alert, here
