Huge week coming for the Cascades with 3 to 7 feet of new snow above 2500’ by the time we reach next Sunday. This will dramatically improve snowpack levels. I see no good day to travel over the Cascade passes this week, so if you’re headed over there just keep in mind conditions will be very poor and chains or traction tires will be a necessity.
Snow levels will rise briefly to around 2000’ through Monday evening before coming back down to 1500’ (maybe lower) Tuesday.
Wednesday and the rest of the week: Snow levels will fluctuate between near the valley floor and 2000’. We are staying in this cold weather pattern for the foreseeable future.
The Coast Range will be in and out of the heavy wet snow zone for much of the week. Best travel day looks to be Monday. Tuesday & Wednesday in particular look to be the snowiest/ most treacherous.
