The National Weather Service’s Seattle/Tacoma office issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Cascades of Whatcom and Skagit counties, including the Mount Baker area. The advisory was in effect until 5 pm PDT on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The NWS forecast 4 to 8 inches of snow, with the heaviest accumulations above 4,000 feet. It warned of slippery roads and difficult mountain travel during the advisory period.
The advisory has now expired. This article should not be presented as a current warning unless the NWS issues a new alert for the area.
What the Advisory Covered
The Whatcom County winter weather advisory snow 2026 covered high-elevation areas of the Whatcom and Skagit county Cascades. The NWS identified slippery road conditions as a hazard during the alert period.
The available advisory did not establish sub-freezing pass temperatures, chain requirements, road closures or heavy timber fall. Those claims have been removed.
Motorists planning mountain travel should check the latest NWS forecast and the Washington State Department of Transportation’s current pass-status information before departure. Road restrictions, if any, depend on current WSDOT notices rather than the expired weather advisory.
