The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a "Short Term Forecast" for the Willamette Valley.
"Right now...Elevations below 1,000 feet may see some brief snowfall or a mix of rain and snow over the next few hours. At this time, we don't expect any significant buildup on hard surfaces. , but shaded or grassy areas may see a small amount of snow. The reason is that the intensity of the precipitation can sometimes bring the snow level closer to 500 - 1000 feet or less. This is called the wet bulb effect, and as the precipitation stops, the snow level will rise to over 1,000 feet. However, people should be aware of potential slippery conditions and take appropriate precautions.”
