Snow and Rain Totals Forecast

By Rod Hill on 2009-11-10


Active weather into next week.  Tonight's rain should be fairly gentle.  A vigerous low pressure area Wednesdy night and Thursday morning could briefly drop snow to the 1,500 feet level.  The strongest weather system I am tracking is scheduled for next Tuesday.  Early indications are high winds at the coast and up to 1.00" of rain for Portland and Salem.   Mt. Hood has 30" of snow at 5,000 feet and more to come this week, including 4-8" through the day Wednesday.  As you look at the 7-Day forecast, keep in mind the timing and locations of weather fronts is changing daily.  Our current pattern is too aggressive for the models to "grab" onto.
