Warning issued about North Coast weather this weekend
The National Weather Service reports a significant change in the weather over southwest washington and Northwest oregon beginning this weekend and continuing through the coming week.
After a brief taste of spring like weather thursday over southwest Washington and northwest Oregon that may linger into friday in many areas, a big change is on the horizon for this weekend that will continue next week.
The change will begin with a weakening front that will move through southwest Washington and northwest Oregon Friday night and early Saturday. The change will accelerate Saturday night and Sunday as a much stronger front moves in with windy conditions, especially near the coast. Snow levels will lower to near 1,000 feet Sunday. Significant snow accumulations are expected over the Cascades beginning Saturday night and continuing into Monday. Snow is also likely in the Cascade foothills and possibly even in the coast range Sunday and Sunday night.
The weather service’s computer models are now beginning to point toward an even stronger system Monday that could bring high wind to the coast more rain to the valleys and snow to the mountains. The models are also indicating more storm systems every day or two throughout next week and into the following weekend, with occasional wind at the coast and plenty of precipitation.
Keep an eye on the weather during the next week or two, especially if you have travel through the mountains.
