Frozen Pacific Northwest Has Thaw Ahead But Not Before More Snow Hits Region
Warmer temperatures are likely coming over the weekend for much of the Pacific Northwest that has been hit by freezing temperatures and snow in the last week, but not before more snow is forecast in the states that could continue to cause problems.
Nearly 39 inches of snow were reported in Donner Pass, California, over a 24-hour period of Sunday into Monday, as the region was buffeted by uncharacteristically harsh temperatures from the north over the weekend.
Forecasts predict temperatures back around 40 degrees Fahrenheit by the weekend when warm winds from the Pacific enter the region that covers Seattle and Portland.
However, parts of Washington and Oregon are predicted to see about 3 more inches of snow Thursday, while parts of California received more snow and rain Wednesday, continuing the travel disruptions like road closures and accidents, in addition to flight cancellations that took place over the weekend and early this week.
