...A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN EXPECTED SATURDAY

NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...



Light snow is expected to develop Saturday night, likely changing

to a mix of light rain and freezing rain late Saturday night and 

into Sunday morning. Snow accumulations should be limited across

the lowest valleys and should remain under an inch. One to three 

inches of snow will be possible in the north Coast Range valleys.

Icing amounts will also be light, generally ranging from a light 

glaze to under a tenth of an inch.



Most areas can expect a few hours of light snow or a rain/snow 

mix, beginning as early as 7 to 10 PM in the central Willamette 

Valley, and later in the night further north. A few hours of light

freezing rain is expected to follow in some locations, 

particularly in and near the western Columbia River Gorge and east

Portland metro and in the most sheltered valleys along the east 

slopes of the Coast Range. Expect precipitation to diminish Sunday

morning across the region and temperatures to slowly warm across 

the entire region on Sunday.
