Local Alert Weather – Sat. AM

Happy Saturday morning, everyone!

Saturday sees a chance for snow showers early in the morning, which means we would be off to a slick start. Daytime highs will be cooler in the upper 20s and lower 30s — about 10 degrees cooler than we were for Friday! Another wave of snow showers is expected overnight into Sunday.

Mt. Bachelor is looking to pick up around 3-6″ of snow through the weekend. Snow levels will be below 2,500′ and lower through the end of the weekend.

Passes are expected to be snow covered and icy. Winter driving will be the case through the holiday weekend. Chains or traction tires are required.

Christmas Eve could wake up to a dusting of snow for Central Oregon if the cold front stalls over the region, which is expected. A wintry mix is possible by the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s once again.

Christmas Day is looking dry, but cloudy. Highs will top out in the low to mid 30s.

Have a happy & safe weekend!

Merry Christmas!
