Snow levels will linger between 3000-5000 feet in Washington and 4000-6000 feet in Oregon, occasionally dropping lower with passing fronts.

Winds will be breezy at times, particularly late Thursday and Friday, but nothing unusual for most ridges and passes. A quieter pattern is expected to emerge early next week, while some small snow may still fall in areas of the region on Tuesday.

Light snow will persist over higher terrain tonight and Thursday, particularly above 3000-4000 feet in Washington and 4000-5000 feet in Oregon, as a weak system advances inland.

Snowfall will be light, but enough to replenish the upper slopes. Precipitation may momentarily mix with rain or a few wet flakes at lower elevations, but limited accumulations are expected below mid-mountain.

Friday and Saturday: A larger surge of moisture approaches from the southwest, bringing more snow to the mountains and rain to most lowlands.

Snow levels will range between 3500-4500 ft in Washington and 4000-5500 ft in Oregon; expect moderate to occasionally heavy snow at higher passes and summits. Gusty easterly or south-southwesterly winds may harm ridgelines, but they should only occasionally be strong enough to disrupt lift operations.

Sunday Wave: Additional light to moderate snow is anticipated on Sunday, mostly in Washington’s Cascades and Oregon’s highest summits, before tapering out that night.

Snow levels will remain rather stable, ranging between 3500-5000 feet depending on location. Next week appears to be more calm, though a weak disturbance on Tuesday could bring small accumulations to a few northern highlands.
