Many of us are preparing for bed (as we should) on this Monday night, and it’s still very much up in the air as to whether or not we see snow tomorrow morning. Here’s 4 important points for you to know.

1.) This scenario favors higher elevations (south and west Salem hills etc).

2.) This scenario actually favors the eastern Willamette Valley too just a little.

3.) We are looking at snow showers which makes predicting exactly who gets snow and who doesn’t very tricky. Check out this simulated radar image showing heavy bands of snow over some sections of the valley, but with some gaps in between.

4.) My fourth and final important point is I expect anywhere from a slushy trace of snow to close to 3 inches anywhere within the Willamette Valley depending on your location and the intensity and duration of the snow showers over your neighborhood.

Snow melts during the day and afternoon and evening plans can continue on as normal. Just keep in mind it will be very cold – especially Tuesday night.

Take care and stay safe!
