Cold weather

Friday February 7

Another couple days of challenging winter wx 

in store for the PNW.  Inches more on the way 

later today (except for areas south of Eugene; it's

already warmed, so rain today). Saturday may 

also bring on snow and then, hopefully, by Sunday 

or Monday, enough warmer air aloft will finally 

push out the burly cold air and get all of us out of 

ice box.  Next week has multiple storm systems 

in the region.   A few inches of RAIN likely by next 

weekend, with plenty of needed mountain snow. 

The weekend of Feb 15,16 may start out on the dry 

side, but by Sunday the strongest storm of the series

 is modeled to slam into the area. Lots of heavy rain, 

feet of snow in the mountains. It will turn colder 

after the front passes, so don't be surprised to see 

snow in the foothills, coast range, and maybe even 

flakes mixed at the surface, esp Monday, Feb 17.
