If you’re traveling through the High Cascades tonight, get ready for winter to make an impact. A storm is moving in, bringing up to six inches of fresh snowfall at elevations above 4,000 feet. Mountain roads could turn slick fast, with reduced visibility and possible delays.
What to Expect
- When it starts: Late Monday evening
- Heaviest snowfall: Overnight into early Tuesday
- Where it’s hitting: High Cascades, including mountain passes
- Main concerns: Slippery roads, low visibility, and difficult travel conditions
How to Prepare
If you’re driving through the mountains, take it slow, pack extra supplies, and make sure your car is winter-ready. If you’re staying in, check that your heating is working and enjoy the warmth. For those planning outdoor activities, fresh powder is on the way, but it’s best to check conditions before heading out.
This storm is part of a moisture-heavy system sweeping through the Pacific Northwest. It’s great news for ski resorts, but anyone traveling through higher elevations should be prepared.
If you don’t need to be on the road tonight, it’s best to stay put. If you do, plan ahead, drive carefully, and stay safe.
