...POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE
INTERIOR LOWLANDS OF NORTHWEST OREGON AND SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON...
A WEAKENING PACIFIC FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST TODAY
AND TONIGHT...AND SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS NORTHWEST OREGON AND
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON ON SUNDAY. AS IT DOES THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...DECREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
HOWEVER ANY PRECIPITATION FALLING INTO THE COLD AIR TRAPPED IN THE
WILLAMETTE VALLEY AND LOWLANDS OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND THE
COLUMBIA GORGE MAY BE AS FREEZING RAIN.
AT THIS TIME THE PERIOD OF CONCERN IS SUNDAY MORNING. THE SOUTH
WILLAMETTE VALLEY STANDS THE BEST CHANCE TO RECEIVE SOME LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN. CHANCES FOR FREEZING RAIN ARE LOWER TO THE NORTH AS
THOSE AREAS MAY WARM UP BY THE TIME THE RAIN ARRIVES. ANY
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED TO BE SPOTTY AND LIGHT. THE MAIN IMPACT
WILL BE SOME SLIPPERY ROADWAYS AND WALKWAYS SUNDAY MORNING.
THE COLUMBIA GORGE WEST OF ABOUT CASCADE LOCKS MAY RECEIVE SOME
FREEZING RAIN INTO THE AFTERNOON AS POCKETS OF FREEZING AIR LINGER
IN THAT AREA...WHILE NEAR HOOD RIVER ANY PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY
BE AS SNOW.
