Culp Creek, Oregon

... More snow for the South Washington and north and central Oregon
Cascades this week...
... Snow levels will likely fall into the higher elevations of the
Cascade foothills and the Coast Range this week...

More snow is expected in the South Washington and north and
central Oregon Cascades this week. Totals of 1 to 3 feet are
possible... spread across three different systems... one tonight
and Wednesday... one Wednesday night and Thursday morning... and
another Thursday night and Friday. The higher amounts will be up
at the ski resorts... with the lesser amounts near the passes.

Snow levels will be generally below the passes through the end of
the week... and could fall well below the passes Thursday and
Friday. Snow levels will possibly be as low as 2500 feet or so
Wednesday night and Thursday morning... and between 1500 and 2500
feet later Thursday night and Friday. This will likely bring a
dusting of snow to the Cascade foothills on Wednesday night and
Thursday... with possible accumulating snow by Friday. Even the
higher elevations of the Coast Range could see some snow Thursday
and Friday.

If you are planning travel through the Cascades this week... be
prepared for winter driving conditions and snow covered roads.
Carry chains... extra clothing and provisions in your car.
Hunters... hikers... and climbers should be prepared for winter
weather both in the Cascades and in the coastal mountains.
