A series of powerful storm systems are bringing several feet of snow to the mountains and gusty winds and rainfall to the lowlands.<\/p>\n

SEATTLE \u2014 A Blizzard Warning<\/a> goes into effect for the Cascade Mountains on Wednesday evening with up to 1 to 3 feet of snow and gusty winds expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The lowlands will experience heavy rain and high winds that could lead to possible local flooding and power outages. The most widespread impacts are expected Wednesday with a Wind Advisory for much of the lowlands.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The criteria for NWS to issue a Blizzard Warning include large amounts of snow, wind exceeding 35 mph and visibility of less than a quarter of a mile — all sustained for at least three hours. While snow is common in the Cascades, sustained winds during a snow event are less so.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

NWS Seattle has issued just seven Blizzard Warnings, four of those in the last two years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s a look at what to expect in the next 24 to 48 hours in the mountains.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
