A strong front will impact the region today through Wednesday, bringing strong winds and heavy snow to the area. Heavy snow combined with strong winds will make for extremely difficult driving conditions during this time. Avoid travel over the Cascade Passes, Mt Shasta City area, Siskiyou Summit and Hwy 97 north of Chiloquin. If you must travel, take your emergency winter kit with you and be prepared for long delays and road closures. Know before you go and check road conditions before venturing out.
Active weather continues across northern California and southern Oregon through Saturday. Showers continue during the day Thursday. Thursday night through the day Friday, a compact low pressure system will bring another round of gusty winds to the Oregon coast and elevated terrain as well as increased coastal showers. On Saturday, falling snow levels and westerly winds aloft support snow showers over the Cascades.
