Another frontal system will move in from the northwest tonight through Saturday as the active wintry weather pattern continues.
Moderate to heavy snowfall is expected in the Oregon Cascades, with lighter amounts possible down to between 1,000 and 2,000 foot elevations. Snow levels are expected to range between 1,000 and 2,000 feet during this weather system with the bulk of the 1+ inch accumulations above 2000 feet.
The majority of the snowfall will occur during the day on Saturday. Roadways from Highway 140 near Lake of the Woods northward will see the greatest accumulations, but other roadways south of there, including portions of I-5, could see some light snowfall, as well.
Be prepared for periods of reduced visibility and slippery and snow covered roads. Be prepared for wintry travel conditions and be sure to check road conditions before venturing out.
Monitor the forecast closely for updates. It’s a good idea to have alternate travel plans if you want to avoid driving in wintry conditions.
