There's no question that cold air is currently in place. And more is coming in via two low pressure systems that will continue affecting the region through Monday morning. This will support fair to good chances for us to see a dusting to 1 to 3 inches of snow each night and morning through before […]
12:30pm Wednesday: Winter Storm Warning is for elevations above 1500', NOT for Cottage Grove (elevation 650'). Highly unlikely that we'll get more than 3-inches of snow or wind gusts above 40 mph. Details on snow / winds: That's how it looks now. Next update on Friday morning to address snow possibilities for Fri/Sat nights. If […]
3:30pm Monday: The Winter Storm Warning is NOT for Cottage Grove! Can't rule out some flakes or a spot of a light dusting overnight (before sunrise, probably won't stick IF any snow falls. That's how it looks now. Next update on Wednesday morning to address snow possibilities for the rest of the week.
First things first: THIS IS NOT A BMTP EMERGENCY (Bread, Milk, TP)! Snowmageddon highly unlikely, NO Ice Storm. Snow predictions are most accurate within 24 hrs of the event, apps causing unnecessary panic. All ingredients must come together "just right" for it to snow in Cottage Grove. The snow possibilities listed below are how it looks as of […]
It's Monday and here's how the next 10-days look, weather-wise... It will be more dry than wet through Saturday, then it looks like we'll switch to a wet pattern Sunday through at least March 2nd. Outlooks for March and April lean towards below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures. Keep in mind that this is just […]
Happy Valentines Day! ❤ Over the next 10-days, it looks like we'll get 2-3" of rainfall. Just about every day through next Wednesday will have at least some rain, then we "may" have a few days to dry out (Feb 23-26). It could be breezy at times with some wind gusts of 15-25 mph. No […]
Strong Winds, Excessive Rainfall, Ice Storm, and Lowland Snow are not seen in Cottage Grove (at this time) through February 10. Looks like an inch or less of total rain over the next 7-10 days and temperatures are not expected to be too bad either. Check out the charts/maps below!
Friday 3:30pm Weather Update: ALL CLEAR: NO strong wind concerns (breezes 15 mph or less)! Another inch to inch and a quarter of rain and showers through Saturday night. Maybe an early morning shower on Sunday, the rest of the day looks dry. High snow levels (above 8000') = "warmer" rain below will cause some […]
By now you've probably seen some news media hyping things up that another massive weather event is in store for us next week with catastrophic rainfall/flooding, devastating winds, downed trees, and power outages. Breathe! Look, it rains here in Oregon. Sometimes A LOT. Sometimes A LOT within a SHORT PERIOD. Sometimes we get windy storms […]
At least one-hundred people reached out to me just before and during the Ice Storm, asking if this page and the Facebook Cottage Grove Weather and Emergency Preparedness group could go active and if I can post.
