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.
