...VERY COLD AIR TO REMAIN OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ALL WEEK...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A MIX OF RAIN...SNOW...AND WIND TO THE
REGION TONIGHT ALONG WITH MUCH COLDER WEATHER. TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY. EXPECT AN EVEN COLDER SURGE OF
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE
FREEZING AFTER TUESDAY. THE COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO BLOW IN
THROUGH THE GORGE MAY PUSH WIND CHILL VALUES QUITE LOW AT TIMES
THIS WEEK IN AREAS EXPOSED TO THE EAST WINDS.
 
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE GENERALLY NOT EXPECTED ON THE VALLEY FLOOR
MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW FOR THE AREA ON
FRIDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS PART OF THE FORECAST IS QUITE LOW
AT THIS POINT. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CONTINUED COLD WEATHER
ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
AS IT OFTEN IS...FORECASTING WINTER WEATHER IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST 
CAN BE CHALLENGING. STAY INFORMED BY MONITORING WEATHER FORECASTS 
CLOSELY THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THIS SITUATION EVOLVES.
