Tuesday Snow Update: Snow down to 500-700' remains possible at times. Best chances exist tonight through Wednesday morning, when 0-2" wouldn't be out of the question. Winds will mostly stay below 15 mph, but can't rule out a few gusts to 25 mph. At this time, snow levels Wednesday afternoon through Thursday are expected to stay […]
Monday April 11: A series of 3 low pressure systems will affect the region through Saturday. Snow levels rest of today/Tuesday above 1200'. Snow is again possible here in Cottage Grove between 8pm Tuesday evening and 10am Wednesday morning (0-2"). Wednesday afternoon onward, snow levels will vary 1500'-2500'. No wind concerns - mostly below 20 […]
Sunday April 10: *Strong Winds Possible* Snow below 1000' now UNLIKELY here (best chances below 1000' north of Salem). Wind gusts up to 25-30 mph 10pm Sunday to 6pm Monday, except gusts to 30-40 mph possible midnight to 6:00am Monday. Since leaves are now on trees, if strong winds materialize as predicted, a few downed trees […]
Saturday April 9: Snow levels 1500-2000' through Sunday. Late Sunday night through Monday morning gets interesting as a very cold low pressure system with sufficient moisture may pass directly overhead and cause snow levels to drop below 1000'. Most likely time for snow here looks to be Monday 5:00am-11:00am. Total snow could be zero to […]
Friday April 8: Will it snow? I bet your weather apps are going crazy! By the way, we officially hit 80 yesterday afternoon (Thursday), today we'll be 20 degrees cooler - near 60. Sat-Mon, highs will be 49-54, lows low-mid 30's. Normal high and low is 60 & 37, respectively. A few cold low pressure systems […]
Wed April 6: Here's some fast facts (snow levels will be low Sun/Mon but lowland snow looks unlikely at this time). Mild/warm today-Thurs, then brrr Fri-Mon!
Sunday April 3: Winds later today and Monday can gust up to around 25-30 mph at times. It will become breezy later this morning or afternoon with wind gusts up to 15-20 mph at times. Winds may further increase this evening through Monday afternoon with gusts up to 30 mph possible. Strongest winds will blow […]
Friday April 1: I took a little trip to Reno, so didn't post anything over the past week. Saw very little snow over our local passes. There'll be isolated to scattered light showers across the area between 6pm this evening and 3am Saturday, then dry the rest of Saturday through Sunday afternoon. Normal high/low temperature: […]
Wednesday March 23: The Spring Equinox occurred this past Sunday (Meteorological Spring began back on March 1). Could see some sprinkles or an isolated shower through this afternoon, otherwise it looks dry through Saturday morning. Rain is then expected to develop Sunday afternoon into Monday morning (around 1/4"). Thereafter, next rain chances look to be […]
Wednesday March 16: The observed peak wind gusts during Saturday evening's wind storm are accurate recordings of the wind speed. I know it seems like the winds were stronger, but keep this in mind: 1) The wind direction was more from the west instead of south when the strongest winds occurred; 2) Normally when we […]
