Heavy Precipitation in the West; Wintry Mix in the North; Fire Weather in the High Plains

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest into early Monday. Dry, gusty winds are resulting in elevated to critical fire weather in the south/central High Plains. Read More >

Snow impacts expected as with a front Tuesday night followed by a second late Wednesday. Snow levels lower from 3500-4000 feet Tuesday night and Wednesday, down to 1500-2500 ft Wednesday night. Heavy snow will impact passes in the Southern Oregon Cascades, foothills in E Douglas (above 3000 ft) and N Klamath County. Moderate snow expected for lower foothills in E. Douglas and NE Jackson counties, Siskiyou Summit, and mountains in western Siskiyou County. Light snow is possible down to lower passes on I-5 Wednesday night. If you must travel, check road conditions before you go, carry chains and a winter kit, prepare for snow covered, slippery roads by leaving extra space between you and the car ahead and take extra time to reach your destination.
Large, long period swell from near the Aleutian Islands will create potentially dangerous surf conditions along the southern Oregon coast Wednesday morning through Thursday night. Breaking waves of 22 to 26 feet are expected. Stay away from the surf zone and off of jetties! Keep your distance from dangerous beach conditions.
