By Thursday night, snow is expected on the Cascade passes, in the foothills and even on the Coast Range. The National Weather Service has posted winter weather advisories for several locations including Sandy, Estacada, Silver Falls State Park,

Sweet Home, Vida, Jasper, and Cottage Grove where as much as 2-6 inches are expected to fall.



Precipitation amounts should fall as we move into Friday with more shower-like activity, but snow will still fall throughout the day at the higher elevations. It should be a great weekend for snow sports on the mountains.
