A quick update this morning before heading into work.  We have a very powerful storm approaching the southern Oregon coast.  If you have travel plans almost anywhere in the state today or tonight, specifically south from Salem southward through northern California keep in mind the potential for weather delays and hazards is high.

You can see the storm approaching the coast right here:

Impacts here in Salem should be fairly minimal compared to the rest of the state with periods of rain and gusty north/northeast winds as the day goes on.

The Coast Range and Cascades will see a good deal of snow with this storm, but even valley locations south near Eugene have a shot at seeing a little bit of snow tonight with this storm.  I have a feeling Salem will be too far north to see any sticking snow.  You can keep track of regional temps and the progress of the cold air moving in behind the storm right here:

High temps Wed – Sat should be around 40 – 43 degrees, and lows will be in the 18 – 24 degree range.  Very chilly for the end of November.

I’m still watching the potential for some wintry precip Sunday.  Not a lot at this point, but keep in mind there could be some snow or freezing rain that day.

I will likely have another update tonight.  Remember to look for updates on Instagram as well.

Have a great Tuesday!!!
