Just when you thought it was safe to put away the gloves and scarves....Mother Nature has a way of reminding us who is in charge. According to the National Weather Service, some *snow* (dare we say it!) is on the way, so don't be surprised if the lawn you mowed this Saturday is sprinkled with some little white stuff. Now for the official info straight from NWS Portland:
Dramatically colder air spreading into southwest Washington
and northwest Oregon this morning...
After January and February brought one of the mildest starts to
the year in much of southwest Washington and northwest Oregon...
the lowest snow levels since last December were already spreading
into southwest Washington and northwest Oregon early this morning.
Snow levels had already fallen below 2000 feet across southwest
Washington and parts of northwest Oregon early this morning. A
cold front was moving through the Cascades but was weakening and
precipitation was decreasing. The snow level will continue to fall
today... to around 1000 feet this afternoon. However... snow amounts
will be limited as showers will not be very numerous. Only a
couple of inches of snow are expected during the day today in the
mountains... and just light amounts at lower elevations.
Snow levels will continue to fall tonight and will likely go below
1000 feet... however showers will continue to decrease tonight and
early Tuesday... so amounts will be limited.
Snow levels will remain very low as the next, more moist
and organized frontal system, moves in later Tuesday and Tuesday
evening. Snow levels could start out as low as 1000 feet... and
possibly even a bit lower.
Snow levels will likely rise for the following system expected
late in the week.
