Winter Weather Advisory issued December 24 at 1:19PM PST until December 26 at 10:00PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR

December 24, 2024 - 1:19pm
...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY ACROSS THE CASCADES... .A winter system will move across the region during the afternoon into evening on Christmas and bring widespread mountain snow to the Cascades through Thursday. Snow levels will rise through Thursday, with much of this activity tapering off or changing to rain by the evening Thursday. * WHAT...Wet snow expected for elevations above 4000 feet. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...East Slopes of the Oregon Cascades. * WHEN...From 1 PM Wednesday to 10 PM PST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Periods of moderate and heavy snow will combine with low visibilities to create difficult driving conditions. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow levels are expected to bounce between 4000-5000 feet, with the passes across the Cascades right around 4500 feet. If snow levels drop or remain lower, snow amounts will increase notably across the passes.

Winter Weather Advisory issued December 24 at 1:00PM PST until December 26 at 10:00PM PST by NWS Portland OR

December 24, 2024 - 1:00pm
Snowfall is expected through the next few days as a number of wet systems move through the Pacific Northwest. These wet systems are associated with warmer air which will cause snow levels to be elevated to near pass level of the Cascades. While snow is expected, uncertainty is high for snow accumulations greater than 10 inches. * WHAT...Snow expected above 4500 feet. From 4500 feet to 5000 feet, total snow accumulation up to 6 inches. Above 5000 feet, total snow accumulations of 18 to 20 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...South Washington Cascades and the Northern and Central Cascades of Oregon. * WHEN...From 1 PM Wednesday to 10 PM PST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches and reduce visibility with falling snow. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow levels are hovering right around 4500 to 5000 feet which is the elevation of the passes within the Cascades. Because of this, if snow levels drop below pass level, snow accumulation will be greater. There is less than a 10% chance of seeing greater than 12 inches of snow at pass level.
