Lots of talk about next week’s cold and snow, and for good reason. Right now it appears we will see the coldest temperatures we have seen since December, and this time chances for snow are looking better and better. That’s next week though, and plenty of time for things to change in any direction.

In the meantime, I wanted to give the “all clear” signal for this extended weekend – well extended for some. Nothing is really happening now through Monday. Nights and mornings will be cold, days will be chilly, but dry and with sunbreaks each day.

Travel to the coast. over the Cascades, and in central Oregon looks good as well. 🙂

Monday night and Tuesday will be windy and rainy with heavy mountain snow. A terrible period of time for travel, so be home by Monday evening if possible. I’ll have an update this weekend with cold and snow details, but for now it’s still too early to try and pin down specifics. Just keep in mind that we are going to be much colder next week and snow is also looking increasingly likely for much of the valley and even the coast…

Take care and stay safe! 🙂
