We've heard about it all week. SNOW. It's coming! It went from SOME snowfall, to a winter storm warning being issued. Yakima can expect up to 12 inches of snow by Sunday morning, forecasters say. And it'll be about the same for the Seattle area this weekend. Not only do we have to deal with the snow, but there's also the wind tomorrow. We could see wind gusts in Yakima up to 40 mph on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

If you plan to travel to/from Seattle over the mountain passes, or by air... be sure to check the mountain pass reports and/or flight status updates. Travel safe!
