It’s February 2nd (Groundhog Day lol). I hope you’re doing well! I’ve got a fresh 7 day forecast for you and some quick thoughts on what’s coming up.

Highlights

1.) For the remainder of today we will see additional sunbreaks & showers with downpours, small hail, and the slight chance for a rumble of thunder.

2.) Wednesday morning could be interesting for a few of you as we have steady precipitation, a cooling airmass, and light winds. All three of those factors will work together to bring snow levels down quite low. Take a look at these two snowfall maps.

Hmmmmm and ugh lol… The last time these maps showed snow I ignored them lol and got burned. That’s not to say that these maps are not always right, but I’ll keep an eye on this still as it will be a close call for some of you. Basically these maps are both indicating snow falling down to very low levels briefly overnight tonight and into early Wednesday morning. Not a lot of snow at all, and not a very good chance, but after the “surprise” snow last Tuesday we should know that when things things work out just right snow is possible even if the chance is “not very good.”

I’m expecting just rain at this point; however, if it does snow, it will be brief and it should be no more than an inch or two for those of us in the valley. This setup favors locations south and east of Salem this go around. Eugene, Sweet Home, Lebanon are all have an increased chance of receiving snow.

3.) Either way, by mid morning we should have some nice sunbreaks and it will all be over with the exception of a few leftover rain showers during the afternoon hours.

4.) The rest of the week is pretty much what you see on the graphic. Nothing exciting for now, but extremely low confidence which is why I still have a lot of days colored in yellow. Every new forecast that has come out these past few days has spit something different out for this timeframe, and I mean everything from snow to rain to lots of sunshine lol which is making it extremely difficult to even guess what will happen this weekend and beyond. I’m hoping to have a better idea at some point tomorrow. For now, enjoy the sunbreaks and downpours.
