...SOME LIGHT LOW ELEVATION SNOW OR FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE OVER
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON LATE THIS WEEK AND OVER
THE WEEKEND...

THE FIRST SNOW TO LOW ELEVATIONS IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND
NORTHWEST OREGON IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR POSSIBLE LIGHT LOW ELEVATION SNOW OR
FLURRIES ON FRIDAY AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW THAT DEVELOPED TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND WAS CONTINUING THIS MORNING HAS DROPPED DEW POINTS
DOWN INTO THE 20S IN MOST AREAS. THIS COOL DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE
INTO FRIDAY AS THE OFFSHORE WINDS CONTINUE. AS A WEATHER SYSTEM
DROPS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY...THE INITIAL PRECIPITATION
IN MANY AREAS MIGHT BRIEFLY START AS SNOW TO VERY LOW ELEVATIONS.
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL GO LIGHT ONSHORE ON FRIDAY...AND THIS
SHOULD BRING A BIT OF MODERATION TO THE AREA LATER IN THE DAY. AT
THIS POINT HOWEVER...ANY PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ON FRIDAY LOOK TO
BE VERY LIGHT.

THE MODELS INDICATE THE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL AGAIN BECOME EASTERLY
AND OFFSHORE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS THE SYSTEM FROM FRIDAY
DEVELOPS INTO AN UPPER LOW EAST OF THE CASCADES AND OVER IDAHO.
THERE AGAIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH MOISTURE OVER SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON...BUT WHAT DOES CIRCULATE OVER THE
AREA COULD FALL AS LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES TO NEAR THE VALLEY
FLOORS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW THAT ACCUMULATES COULD BE NEAR
THE CASCADES.

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR MORE SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE TO IMPACT OUR AREA
AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT DETAILS ARE STILL VERY
UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST OREGON AND
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON.
