Snow is falling all around the Pacific Northwest - just not in the Portland area. Locations below 500 feet elevation are unlikely to see any sticking snowfall on Monday, although the day will be cold enough to spot snowflakes mixed in with the rain in heavier showers. Snow levels are low and locations along the northern Oregon coast are getting accumulating snow. Schools were delaying starts in Astoria, Seaside and even Lincoln City. Also, areas along the Cascade foothills and in the Coast Range (anything above 1,000 feet) saw accumulating snow by 5:30 a.m. Monday.

Portland will mostly see rain showers until afternoon. Some of those showers could include snow, but warm ground temperatures make it unlikely anything will stick for any period of time, according to the National Weather Service. Skies will begin to clear in the afternoon and the high will be 39 degrees.

The coldest air mass to travel into the metro area this season will linger through Tuesday and into Tuesday night. Roads that were wet could ice up and cause travel hazards. Watch the temperatures in your areas for signs of ice formation. Some forecast models show a few light showers remaining in the area for Tuesday. This could cause some accumulating snow in isolated areas overnight into Tuesday morning.

In Portland, Tuesday will be mostly sunny after morning clouds with a high of 40. Overnight lows will drop well below freezing with temps in the upper 20s. Again, if the road looks wet, it could be icy overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. Wednesday will be mostly clear with a high of 42 under the winter sun.
