Anyone needing to travel east of Interstate 205 and south of the Columbia River should be prepared for slick driving conditions. Drive with care and leave plenty of stopping distance. Forecasters with the National Weather Service believe warmer air will slowing make its way into the gorge by Wednesday evening and put a stop to any freezing rain.

TriMet ran MAX trains overnight to help keep any ice from building up on the wires. The MAX system is operating with minimal or no delays as of 6 a.m. Wednesday morning.



TriMet advises bus riders to check trimet.org/alerts before they head out. A few bus lines are canceled or detoured, and buses that run in some hilly areas are chained and cannot travel faster than 25 mph. Riders in those areas should plan some extra time to reach their destinations. Bundle up as temperatures are still at, or just above, freezing Wednesday morning.

Weather delays:

The City of Fairview will open at 10 a.m. Wednesday due to icy conditions.

Portland Community College campuses will open at 10 a.m.
