...SNOW POSSIBLE THROUGH 8 AM MONDAY MORNING IN THE SOUTH 
WILLAMETTE VALLEY AND COAST RANGE...

The residuals of the atmospheric river continue to produce
precipitation over the southern Willamette Valley and the Coast
Range of Lane County. Cooler air continues to filter in with
temperatures dropping around 1 degree F per hour. If precipitation
rates increase, we could see snow levels drop enough to bring 
snow to the lowlands and Coast Range. However, confidence is low 
at this point with less than a 10% chance of measurable snow in 
the lowlands around Eugene. Areas around Cottage Grove will see 
around a 30% chance of measurable snow. 

In the case snow were to fall, slow down while traveling, use 
headlights, and leave ample space between you and others around 
you.
