Planning to head over the mountains midweek? We have high confidence (90%+) that mountain snow is returning, creating high potential for minor winter impacts on April 1 and 2. Oregon Cascade passes have a high likelihood (70–90%) of seeing 6” or more of snow. While there is a lower chance (30–40%) for that 6” threshold along and near Snoqualmie Pass and the WA Cascades, you should still expect wintry conditions. Confidence remains moderate for seeing snow in Central Oregon, with a 60% chance for 0.1” or more at this time. There are still some unanswered questions as we narrow down exactly how low snow levels will evolve Wednesday night and how surface temperatures will affect travel and accumulations. If traveling, be sure to stay weather aware, check your specific route's forecast before departing, and get the latest info by visiting WSDOT Travel Page (Washington) or TripCheck (Oregon).
