... 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... possibly 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.
