We're tracking below-normal temperatures and damp weather for Seattle the next few days. Mountain snow will ramp up tonight through Monday.

Highs this afternoon will be several degrees below average, reaching the mid 50s for most. You can plan on mostly cloudy skies, slightly breezy weather and on-and-off showers.

Where the rain happens today and tomorrow, some downpours could be locally heavy - dropping visibility and creating slick spots on the roads.

Here's a look at the Futurecast:

Several inches of snow are in the forecast for the mountains tonight through Monday. In fact, there's a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 11 tonight to 11 a.m. Monday. Between four and seven inches of snow could accumulate in the areas surrounding White and Stevens Passes. Under heavier bands of snow, there could be localized higher totals.

While Snoqualmie Pass is not included in this advisory, that area could get between three and six inches of snow. It'll be more challenging for the snow to accumulate on the roads itself since temperatures have been mild going into this cooler trend. The cooler surfaces (e.g. the slops) have a better potential for accumulating snow.

At times today through Tuesday, there could be spotty, weak thunderstorms with small hail and gusty conditions.

Wednesday looks dry at this point; however, it'll probably be mostly cloudy.

Showers make a brief comeback on Thursday before drier weather takes over on Friday. Temperatures boost into the mid 60s next weekend.
