Weather in March

March ushers in early signs of spring in Washington, especially in its western half. In cities along the Puget Sound, such as Seattle and Tacoma, average low temperatures rise to approximately 32°F (0°C). Eastern Washington starts to shed its extreme winter cold, with nighttime temperatures generally falling between 0°F (-17.8°C) and 10°F (-12.2°C). The eastern city of Walla, known for its wineries, begins to see more moderate weather conducive for early spring vineyard work.

The state still experiences cloudy conditions during March, particularly in the western regions. However, the days gradually become longer, and the clouds occasionally break to allow more sun. Eastern Washington continues to receive snow, but amounts typically diminish to approximately 40" (1016mm). Western areas transition more into rain with decreasing snowfall, registering around 5" (127mm) on average. Wind speeds ease somewhat, ranging from 20 to 30mph (48.3km/h) (32.19 to 30mph (48.3km/h)).

Compared to February, March brings warmer temperatures and decreased snowfall, signaling the approach of spring. The transition from winter to spring becomes more evident as the month progresses. April will further this transition, offering even milder temperatures and increased opportunities for outdoor activities, as rain continues to replace snow in most areas of the state.
