SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
254 PM PDT TUE MAR 25 2014
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING ACROSS THE AREA. WINDS WILL GUST TO 50 MPH...NOT ONLY ALONG THE COAST BUT FOR PORTIONS OF THE VALLEY AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS...THROUGH THIS EVENING. EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY...BUT NOT AS WINDY AS TUESDAY.
THROUGH THURSDAY...RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALONG THE COAST COULD REACH 1 TO 2 INCHES...IN THE MOUNTAINS COULD REACH 2 TO 4 INCHES...AND IN THE INLAND VALLEYS COULD REACH AN INCH OR MORE. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP CONSIDERABLY TONIGHT. THERE COULD BE A FOOT OF SNOW IN THE CASCADES...ESPECIALLY AT THE SKI RESORTS...THOUGH THERE WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH ACCUMULATION AT THE PASSES TO AFFECT TRAVEL AT TIMES LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. ALL OF THIS WILL ALSO MAKE IT INADVISABLE TO CLIMB ANY OF THE AREA MOUNTAIN PEAKS THIS WEEK. THESE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE SPREAD OUT ACROSS THREE DAYS...BUT WILL STILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
A MORE ORGANIZED ROUND OF RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY. A FEW RIVERS ARE FORECAST TO REACH NEAR BANKFULL AT THIS TIME...BUT MUCH DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS BEFORE THIS MOIST AND STRONGER SYSTEM ARRIVES. STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST FORECASTS AS THIS WEEK PROGRESSES.
