Drippy Weather

Additional thoughts

Today’s storm as you might have already noticed has brought a fair amount of wind with it.  These breezy conditions will continue until tomorrow morning.  Rain will also pick up later today/tonight.

Another storm arrives Friday late in the day.

Sunday & Monday will be dominated by on and off periods of rain.

Tuesday looks very wet for now.

Our driest time will be Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning.  I suspect fog and clouds will dominate this dry time, so don’t expect very much in the way of sunshine. 

Maybe a few sunbreaks on Wednesday.

Final thought:  Thursday should stay dry, but showers will be lurking just to our north much of the day.  There’s a small chance a shower or two rolls down our way.  Just something to keep in mind if you require dry weather Thursday.

 

Cold rain ahead

You may be hearing rumors of possible freezing rain or ice, and I’m sure you were just hoping to find out what my thoughts were on the situation.  Luckily, I’ve got a brand new forecast just for you to help settle all those rumors.

Dec 2

Details

It’s cold out there right now and it’s been cold all week long.  No doubt about that.  Now we have clouds moving in.  The question is: will it get icy this weekend?  For the Salem area and most of the valley the answer is no.  Not in any way that should affect your travel plans.  It should be just “warm” enough here to keep us from getting any sort of freezing rain.  Instead we will be left with some very cold rain showers.  Lucky us!!! 😉

If you plan to travel through the Gorge it will be another story.  I expect some spots of ice and even a little bit of snow in the Gorge east of Multnomah Falls and more so out towards The Dalles.

The Cascades

Up in the mountains it looks like some light snow is on tap Saturday with steadier snow Sunday night & Monday.  Tuesday should be dry until evening when more snow will move in.

Snow totals by Thursday of next week should be around 10 – 16 inches for most of the ski resorts and mountain passes.

Dec 1

This cold weather is going to last a few more days with lows in the 20s and highs in the 40s.

Moisture returns Saturday for some very chilly rain.  Freezing rain should not be a problem unless your travels take you into the gorge.  Will let you know if that ends up being different… 

More cold rain Sunday with the chance for ice in the Columbia River Gorge.

Monday:  Wet with valley rain and showers and mountain snow.

Tuesday:  Low confidence.  Leaning towards mostly dry with just a couple of showers possible.

Up in the Cascades

Spots of ice and a few inches of snow can be expected in the mountain passes Saturday afternoon through Monday evening.  It won’t be a lot, but enough to make travel a little bit trickier at times.

Cool Dec

Highlights

We have two wet days ahead of us before entering into a very cool and dry winter weather pattern.  Next week will be a chilly one with lots of very cool and frosty mornings.

Details

Friday:  Stormy with showers & rain.  Breezy at times.

Saturday:  Showers, some could be quite heavy

Sunday:  A couple lingering showers early on, then dry.

Monday – Thursday:  Clear & sunny, but cold.  Daytime highs in the low to mid 40s and lows in the low to mid 20s.

One last thing

There’s a small chance the showers on Sunday will stick around longer than I’m indicating on this forecast.  Perhaps into the evening.  This is the only real change or possible “surprise” I see in our forecast.  The rest of the days look good to go 🙂

Here’s the latest forecast for Thanksgiving and the rest of the week.

Nov 5

Take away messages are: Thursday afternoon through Friday evening will be very wet, and if you are looking for a dry day than your best bet is Saturday and then again on Monday.

Details

Wednesday:  Light rain through much of the day, specifically the second half of the day.

Thursday:  Showers early turning to steady rain with increasing winds gusting 25 to 30mph.

Friday:  More rain and breezy conditions.

Saturday:  Mostly dry with just a stray left over shower possible.

Sunday:  Mostly cloudy with some light showers.

Monday:  Mostly cloudy, but dry.

Tuesday & Wednesday:  Looking quite wet at this time.

Also keep in mind the Cascades above 3000′ for the most part will be snowy from Thursday afternoon through Saturday morning.  Travel up there the rest of the week should be much better with just wet pavement.
