Wet and windy for our Wednesday with difficult and snowy travel over the Cascades.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for the Cascades above 4,000′ around Crater Lake and Diamond Lake from 11 PM Tuesday to 5 AM Thursday. Click the ‘Alerts’ tab above for more details.
Tonight: More precipitation will pick up tonight, mainly along the coast and the Cascades with some showers possible around the rest of the region. Snow levels as the system begins to move inland will start around 5,500′-5,000′. Travel impacts through the night into the morning will stay mainly to our higher passes. Winds will become rather blustery for the coast and across the Cascades and eastside. Low temperatures are expected in the lower 40s for westside valley and the middle 40s for the coast. Eastside lows drop to the middle to lower 30s.
A WIND ADVISORY has been issued for Eastern Klamath and Lake Counties from 11 AM to 8 PM Wednesday. Click the ‘Alerts’ tab above for more details.
Extended: We’ll see precipitation becoming widespread for the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday will be the most active day of the week. Snowy and slow travel is expected for higher passes over the Cascades, especially up towards Crater Lake and Diamond Lake. The worst travel conditions will be Wednesday morning when we’ll be dealing with heavy and blowing snow. Periods of heavier rain can be expected at the coast, especially Wednesday morning. Inland rain will be moderate to light throughout the day. We will see things taper to showers from west to east through the afternoon and into the evening on Wednesday. Winds will be gusty, especially for the Cascades and the eastside.
We do look to dry out for Thursday after some lingering rain and snow showers to start the day. Clearing skies and cooler temperatures bring the risk for frost and freeze to westside valleys on Thursday and Friday morning. Afternoon skies will also be brighter late in the week with high temperatures warming back up. Another storm system looks to bring more rain and higher elevation snow to the region this weekend.
