We didn't get any snow last night, but we knew that the chances were minimal due to little moisture with the system. By the time cold enough air to cause snow arrived, there was just too little moisture left to work with. Winds overnight were stronger than forecast and therefore evaporated the wet pavement (along […]
Snow levels through this evening will stay above 2000', then lower to near 500 feet after 11:00pm. This system has very little moisture, so showers today and this evening will total less than 1/10". Any snow between 11pm tonight and 6:00am Sunday will be either as just some flakes to possibly a light dusting of […]
Best time for snow looks to be 11pm Saturday to sunrise Sunday. We could see just some flakes to up to an inch. That's about it since the system doesn't have a lot of moisture. Biggest impact will be the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Lows 15-20 likely Sunday night and Monday night. […]
A dusting of snow is possible sometime between Saturday night and about 10am Sunday. This system will be fast moving and doesn't have a lot of moisture, so no snowmageddon. Biggest impact will be very cold temperatures. Breezy Sunday/Monday, so it will feel much colder than actual temperature. Details: On Friday, cold system #1 comes through […]
Snow possibilities increase Sat/Sun. Otherwise, uneventful through Thursday: Night/morning fog and/or low clouds with possible slow burn off and very light to calm winds. Arctic Air may then be dragged into our area by two low pressure systems - the first on Friday and the second on later Saturday or Sunday. I should note that […]
Dry weather and cold temperatures today and Friday, then some light showers later Saturday morning through the evening (less than 1/4"). An extended period of dry weather is likely Sunday through all of next week and probably to the end of the month, which means much below normal precipitation will continue. Expect night and morning […]
High pressure is expected to build in next Saturday through the end of the month so we'll likely be drier than normal Jan 21-31 with maybe a weak system or two sneaking in (light rain). As of 11am Jan 14, we've recorded 15.61" of precipitation in Cottage Grove since the start of the water year […]
Four to five storm systems will bring up to 2-3" of rainfall over the next 10-days (through Jan 19). We're currently behind by almost 5" (as of the start of the water year on Oct 1, we've recorded 15.07" of precipitation; normal to date is 19.93"). No chances for lowland snow through Jan 17. Strong […]
Although periods of rain and showers will occur through next weekend (Jan 15), the wettest parts of the storms will be aimed into California. Total rainfall for us through next weekend looks to be around 1.5-2". But parts of California can see a foot or more of rain (see rainfall map below), which means that […]
Afternoon data today (Wednesday) suggests it can get breezy tonight with some gusts to 20 mph (nothing to be concerned about). But on Thursday, stronger winds above us MAY mix down to the surface. Therefore, wind gusts on Thursday have the potential to be in the 30-35 mph range from the morning through the afternoon. […]
