Local Alert Weather – Thurs. PM

Happy Thursday evening, everyone!

Tonight we’ll remain dry and see cold temperatures. Spots of ice will be likely tonight from the snow that has melted and spilled onto the roads and surfaces. Partly cloudy skies are expected as we head into tomorrow. Overnight lows will be in the teens and lower 20s. Winds will generally be out of the south around 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Friday will see increasing clouds and partly sunny skies. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 30s and lower 40s. Winds will be light out of the southeast around 5 to 10 miles per hour. Snow levels begin around 1,800′ in Central Oregon and rise to 3,900′ throughout the day.

The next system pushing in overnight into Saturday will give us a slight chance for some showers, but mainly for the Cascades. Snow levels will be high for Saturday, and temperatures will be mild! Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s, which is nearly 10 degrees above average.

Saturday will see partly sunny skies and will be dry throughout the day. Overnight into Sunday we have another chance for mixed showers. This system will bring lower snow levels into Sunday as they start around 3,000′. Mt. Bachelor will see about 3-4″ of snow overnight into Sunday.

Central Oregon remains dry for the end of the year after that slight chance Saturday night & early Sunday. Sunday’s highs will be a little cooler in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Monday will see a little cool down, but still dry conditions. We start 2019 with more of the same.

Be safe on the roads!
