(Manzanita, Oregon) – In a not-so-spring-break spirit, the National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting there could be some snow on the Oregon coast and the coast range this week, while even the I-5 Corridor may experience some low elevation white stuff. The coastal region already saw an unusually cold day and dusting of snow earlier this week, but Wednesday and Thursday may bring more, as well as lots of snow to the Cascade mountains.
In a bulletin issued Sunday night, the NWS said these conditions may hamper some spring break travel.
“Cool, unsettled weather this week, with the lowest snow levels since January and early February are expected,” the NWS said. “The pattern is taking hold of southwest Washington and northwest Oregon for this coming week.
