SEATTLE — The unseasonably cold temperatures western Washington has been experiencing will continue into Friday and Saturday.
Temperatures and snow levels will remain low Friday morning, starting at 200 feet and rising to 1,000 feet later in the day.
With the low snow levels to start the day, any heavier rain showers could potentially drop the snow level to the surface briefly, but no accumulation is expected on roadways, according to NWS.
By 8 a.m. on Friday, most of the area will be free of precipitation, except possibly western Whatcom County, which could see a short period of rain-snow mix.
There will be some shower activity on Friday evening, but nothing widespread or heavy is expected.
A new system arrives in time for Saturday, bringing another round of steady rain and mountain snow. There will be low snow levels to start the day at 500 feet early before they rise to 2,000.
That Saturday system moves east by Sunday, which will create a brief weak upper area of high pressure that should make Easter Sunday relatively nice.
Looking forward, the low pressure does not appear to return off the Washington-Oregon coast. It's brought snowfall and temperatures well below average to the region for multiple days.

The snow has been especially felt in the mountains over the past week, and in isolated areas. Such as areas Wenatchee, which received multiple inches of snow Thursday morning.
The beginning of next week brings more chances for widespread rain. A possible break in the clouds comes on Tuesday, but another system is on track to arrive mid-week, according to the NWS.
Record cold
At least two record low temperatures for April were tied or set Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Sea-Tac Airport recorded a low of 32 degrees Wednesday, which tied the coldest April day on record, set on April 4, 1975. Olympia recorded a low of 28 degrees, which broke the previous coldest April day record of 30 degrees set on April 19, 2008.
