Heavy Mountain Snow in the Northwest U.S.; Wintry Mix in the Northeast U.S.

Two more cold fronts will pass through the Northwest U.S. this week with heavy mountain snow continuing across the Cascades, and northern Rockies. A quick moving storm system will bring mixed precipitation including some freezing rain across the Northeast U.S. overnight into Wednesday. Read More >

Snow impacts expected as with a front Tuesday night followed by a second late Wednesday. Snow levels lower from 3500-4000 feet Tuesday night and Wednesday, down to 1500-2500 ft Wednesday night. Heavy snow will impact passes in the Southern Oregon Cascades, foothills in E Douglas (above 3000 ft) and N Klamath County. Moderate snow expected for lower foothills in E. Douglas and NE Jackson counties, Siskiyou Summit, and mountains in western Siskiyou County. Light snow is possible down to lower passes on I-5 Wednesday night. If you must travel, check road conditions before you go, carry chains and a winter kit, prepare for snow covered, slippery roads by leaving extra space between you and the car ahead and take extra time to reach your destination.
Large, long period swell from near the Aleutian Islands will create potentially dangerous surf conditions along the southern Oregon coast Wednesday morning through Thursday night. Breaking waves of 22 to 26 feet are expected. Stay away from the surf zone and off of jetties! Keep your distance from dangerous beach conditions.
