Get Ready For The First Snow Of The Season In Yakima

There's always a little excitement in the air when we get our first snowfall of the season.

Mostly from kids who don't have to drive in it or wishing from a snow day to stay home from school.

But you can tell your kids that we should be getting snow before December.

Just in the morning is all it says.

That day's high is expected to be about 40 which is cold but not quite cold enough for the snow to stick so even if it does fall and we get some dusting in our trees and lawn, it may not be enough to even make a snowball.

It's just calling for some snow in the morning and only a 30% chance at that.

Aside from the snow, it'll still be chilly most of the day with mostly cloudy skies.

It's doubtful that it'll be enough to delay school and it's highly doubtful it'll be snow that will last more than the day for any snow that does fall.

This isn't seasonally uncommon for the Yakima Valley to get a little dusting for the first official snow of the season.

Yakima will usually see a few flakes here and there and, if we're lucky, we'll have a White Christmas but most of Yakima's snow comes in January and February.
