We're going to wake up to showers this morning with low snow level around 1,500 feet. For the mountains there could be close to a foot of new snow by the end of the day. Thunderstorms could hit the coast and valley this morning, with day time highs in the mid to upper 40s.

This evening, a high wind warning takes effect for the Oregon Coast with gusts around 70 miles per hour tomorrow. A winter weather advisory takes effect for the Cascades later today as well.

If you're making any outdoor plans this holiday weekend, today is the day to do it! By this afternoon, a ridge of high pressure takes control giving way  to sunny skies with highs in the upper 40s.

So when do the changes move in? Wet weather returns this evening with snow levels at 2,000 feet. Overnight, expect to see up to two inches of new snow.

The work week will be wet.

Enjoy your holiday weekend,

Once again, as you walk outside today you'll be getting that spring feeling. A ridge of high pressure will continue to bring sunny skies and warm weather. Highs will be in the low to mid 50s here in the valley, while the coast will see 60s in some spots. The east winds will continue, however. The closer you get to the Columbia River Gorge, you'll feel wind gusts close to 50 miles per hour. The sunny skies will stick around most of the work week.
