To sum up: periods of rain & showers over the next 10 days (through Jan 7) as about six low pressure systems affect the region. DRY New Year's Eve after 6:00pm and all of New Year's Day. At this time, total rainfall over the next 10-days should be under 3" so flooding concerns are minimal. […]

Yes, for Cottage Grove! The freezing rain event is over in Cottage Grove, temperatures have warmed to above freezing south of Eugene and we're finally thawing out (see 10am temperature map). However, Eugene may continue to have ice problems until early afternoon and until mid/late-afternoon north of Eugene to Salem and late evening/early night in […]
2:00pm Thursday change in forecast. *For Cottage Grove* Temperatures are struggling to get above freezing and latest data suggests we'll remain around 30-32° possibly through the evening or early night before warmer air arrives sometime between 9:00pm tonight and 3:00am Friday morning (we should be in the 40's by 6:00am). Therefore, freezing rain or possibly […]
Possibly, but this is not a BMTP emergency (Bread, Milk, Toilet Paper)! It will depend on how much cold air makes it south of Eugene which will determine any winter weather impacts here. Snow will be possible here on Thursday from about 6:00am to noon, as will the possibility of freezing rain. If any snow […]
SNOW UNLIKELY THROUGH CHRISTMAS (BUT see next paragraph) It's going to turn colder here tomorrow and Thursday as Arctic Air pushes south. We'll be on the southern boundary of this very cold air mass so temperatures here won't be as cold as areas north of Eugene and east of the Cascades. For us, this will […]
Coldest Arctic Air is now expected to remain just north of Eugene. Therefore, as of the time of this post, best chances for light lowland snow is north of Eugene and especially north of Salem. Chances here aren't zero, either, if cold air slips more south. Locally, snow levels through Tuesday will roller-coaster between 1000 […]
To Snow or Not to Snow. While chances of light snow will be in the picture here on Sunday and Monday, don't count on it. Or at least don't count on anything more than some flakes or a dusting. Although temperatures may be cold enough for snow, the low pressure system coming down from the […]
