Slick driving conditions (and possibly more freezing precipitation) have lingered along I-84 east of Cascade Locks. The National Weather Service expects some possible freezing rain on Thursday as a new system dumps moisture over the area that continues to feature ground temperatures in the 20s and low 30s. Take extra care when driving through the Gorge on Thursday.
