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 […]
Yes, there may be at least two opportunities for snow - per updated data this afternoon. Possibly on Monday and/or Tuesday, and again the following Wednesday and/or Thursday (Dec 21/22). Long range data is also hinting on a Christmas Day storm which may have low snow levels. Temperatures are also expected to become much colder […]
As of 11:00am Sunday, we've recorded 1.40" of rain from the current storm and the highest wind gust reached 24 mph. Expect light winds and 1/4" or less of showers into tomorrow morning (snow levels above 2000'). Dry and cold Monday afternoon through next weekend. In fact, latest data hints that we may be dry […]
Fairly strong storm to affect the region through Sunday afternoon. Winds can gust up to 30-35 mph, strongest tonight into Saturday morning. Total rainfall up to 1". Snow levels above 3500' through Saturday afternoon, then 2500' Saturday night, and 1500-2000' Sunday. At this time, all of next week through the following weekend looks dry but […]
Will it snow in Cottage Grove over the next anytime over the next 5-days? Highly unlikely at this time. Snow levels are expected to generally remain above 2000' but may dip to near 1200-1500' at times. What to expect: A series of three storm systems will bring rain and mountain snow to the region beginning […]
Doesn't look like things will align just right for snow here in the Grove today (Sunday) but north of about Salem has a good chance. Snow levels here 2000-3000' today. Shower chances will remain in the picture until about 8pm-ish. Light winds. Looking dry Monday through Wednesday, then what looks to be four low pressure […]
For those of you not in the Facebook Weather Group, the community posted dozens of snow pictures from yesterday's snow. Everyone enjoyed seeing them all! This weekend, I'll put them into a collage here on the website and send out a post with them all so you can check them out (I'll be sure to […]
Snow levels will mainly stay above 1500' today, 1000' on Thursday. HOWEVER, Thursday through early Friday morning, it's possible for the snow level to drop to 600' at times if enough cold air comes in. IF anything falls below 1000', it would be light - just a dusting to an inch or so. NO WORRIES […]
