Lots of weather developing in the coming days. The gorge will likely see snow and or ice Wednesday. Cold air dropping across the upper Midwest and plains states will spill to the west and ignite strong east gorge winds Wednesday and Thursday. Wind gusts in the west gorge may reach 50 mph or higher! Also, I am watching the possibility of morning snow or ice in the Salem and Portland metro areas Friday morning. A weakening push of moisture may never get here, but if it does and temperatures drop to freezing, we would have a situation! I will keep watching and let you know over the coming days. Right now, snow levels look to remain above most passes until Tuesday of next week and then bounce back to high levels.
