Special Weather Statement


... Snow levels will likely fall into the higher elevations of the
Cascade foothills and the Coast Range over the next couple of days...

Snow levels will hover around 2500 feet this morning... and as low
as 1500 feet Friday and Friday night. This may bring a dusting of
snow to the highest part of the Cascade foothills and Upper Hood
River Valley today... with possible accumulating snow by Friday.
Even the higher elevations of the Coast Range could see some snow
later Friday or Friday night.

If you are planning travel through the higher elevations over the
next couple of days... be prepared for winter driving conditions and
snow covered roads. Carry chains... extra clothing and provisions
in your car. Hunters... hikers... and climbers should be prepared
for winter weather.
