Sometimes even a blind squirrel can get a forecast right. As predicted cold air with limited moisture has moved in across the region producing mainly rain with some snow at higher locations. The showers will continue today, tapering off tonight. The Coast Range, Cascade foothills & locations generally between 500ft - 1000ft will see some sticking snow. Total accumulations will be limited to no more than an 1" to 2" tops. Downtown & most other areas will see rain, under a heavier shower a rain snow mix may occur. Accumulation is not likely. High temperatures are going to be in the 40's not great for sticking snow. ( read sarcasam).

Tonight it's going to start getting cold! I mean really cold, lows will be in the 20's in Metro Portland, colder in the outlying areas. At night we'll flirt with record lows through the weekend. So I know your next question, will it snow? The more I look at the new model runs the more I lean away from the chance. I might still change my mind but for right now it looks cold and dry. If a low does form over Pacific it will form to far west and south to produce snow on the valley floor. Remember like all good weather geeks I reserve my right to waffle.

That's it for now. I will continue to post here regularly!
