Thanksgiving Weekend Weather

The weather continues to be a concern as we enter the Thanksgiving weekend.  The National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting the possibility of freezing rain in the Gorge on Thursday night and Friday morning.  The mountains may also see another coating of snow with hazardous road conditions.  Locally the snow should be changing to rain after 10 AM for the remainder of the weekend with temperatures at night staying above freezing and during the daytime in the low 40's. We find the best place to start a trip is to check the NWS website at: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/pqr/.  Put this link in your favorites for the winter.  So if you plan to travel this weekend keep an eye on the weather forecast and be prepared. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Cowlitz County Emergency Management!
