Winter isn’t over yet folks, as the National Weather Service is warning that the first of several weather systems will arrive on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024, with heavy mountain snow, lowland rain, and windy conditions.

The active weather patterns will bring heavy mountain snow, gusty winds and a threat of lowland snow to the region over the short term.

But don’t worry too much, as forecasters say that “little or no snow accumulation (is) expected.”

The coldest period will likely be Monday night, when a low of 31 is forecast.

Forecasters are looking at total snowfall amounts between 1 to 3 feet for the Cascades, and a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the mountains.

Locally, expect south/southwest winds from 18 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph, so be prepared for possible power outages as well.
