Winter Storm Warning begins Sunday at 10 am

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Cascades, including the cities of La Pine, Sisters, and Sunriver. All mountain passes will be impacted by as much as 8 - 12" of snow while the lower elevations may see 3 - 5". The snow will begin in the mid-morning time frame of Sunday, and linger into the night. There will be some rain at the beginning of the event, but a transition to snow will occur later in the afternoon as a cold front arrives. Behind the front will be the snow, and due to the rain arriving before the snow, we may see some icy conditions underneath.

Tonight we have a bit of a warm up so there may be more rain than snow to deal with overnight. Sunday will be a mild day to start, with highs reaching the 50s early Sunday afternoon. But a cold front will slide through in the early afternoon and give us a blast of much colder air once again. A robust line of rain and snow will accompany the front, then snow is possible after the front passes.

There is also going to be some gusty winds blowing the snow around and reducing visibility. Travel will be impacted during the day Sunday and into the overnight time frame Sunday to Monday.

It isn't Thanksgiving yet, and we are already dealing with some persistent wintry weather.
