The weather forecast for the I-5 corridor shows that snow showers will intensify late tonight and continue into mid-morning on Wednesday. Areas west of the Cascades and in the Gorge are particularly affected. Although there may be light accumulations from these showers, they are expected to be sporadic. Forecasts suggest up to one inch of snow along the I-5 corridor, but many residents might only observe flurries without substantial accumulation.
Travelers should prepare for possible scattered school delays and minor road conditions due to light snowfall. However, most lowland areas should have a clear commute by mid-morning as temperatures rise towards 40°F with a southerly wind pushing through. The precipitation is anticipated to taper off by around 10-11 AM.
- Snow showers increase late tonight through mid-morning Wednesday.
- Light accumulations possible; expect up to 1” along the I-5 corridor.

Tomorrow’s forecast suggests brief snow accumulations early in the day along beaches north of Lincoln City before conditions improve.
The upcoming weather pattern indicates a mix of wet snow and mild temperatures across the region. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates as conditions evolve throughout Wednesday morning.
