I apologize for the lack of updates. It’s been a busy, but fun week with family and friends. We had a chance to enjoy the snow up in the Cascades, and then just yesterday we had the opportunity to travel to the Oregon Coast for the day. Beautiful weather over there yesterday!!

Highlights

1.) Several days ago I mentioned the possibility of low snow levels today. I stated that I wasn’t too excited about anything happening, and sure enough today we have nothing but cloudy skies and some chilly air – nothing more….

2.) Tomorrow will be wet, especially during the afternoon hours with a period of moderate to heavy rain moving in and some gusty winds.

3.) A few showers Thursday

4.) Friday will likely start off mostly dry before rain moves in late in the day.

5.) I should have a more detailed outlook in the next few days, but the main takeaway is that January will be starting off on a very stormy note with several rounds of strong winds, lots of rain, and copious amounts of mountain snow beginning Saturday and lasting through the at least the first 9 days of the month. Check out the estimated total precip for now through Saturday January 9th. 4 to 5 inches of rain for the Mid-Willamette Valley with up to 10 inches in the Coast Range! Much of this is expected to fall as snow up in the Cascades. We are looking at maybe several feet of new snow next week for the ski resorts. Busy and wild times are coming!!!
