Last night a quick moving, but somewhat powerful cold front raced through the region bringing a burst of heavy rain, gusty winds and a big drop in the snow levels. Snow levels are down to around 1500 – 2000′ right now, and are expected to drop even more tonight. Expect showers and sunbreaks today and again tomorrow. A few showers could have some ice pellets or even wet snow mixed in – specifically early Tuesday morning. Showers will also be widely scattered, so not looking at a big washout by any means.

Watch for icy roads tonight and Tuesday morning. This is always a concern with these setups when we have both a cool airmass in place and showers around. Definitely something to watch for, so be extra careful driving tonight and early tomorrow morning.

After getting a few inches last night, the Cascades will pick up another 8 to 12 inches of snow over the next couple of days which is great news as the snowpack up there has been slowly, but steadily receding due to the lack of stormy weather the past 3 weeks now.

No big storms in sight. We will continue to stay in a quiet weather pattern with chilly nights, alternating days of fog, sun, and occasional days with a few showers, but overall nothing major at all. Happy last day of January!
