Rain is on tap again today in Clark County. The National Weather Service predicts rain all through the day, a high of 48 degrees and winds of about 10 mph.
The snow level late tonight is expected to fall to 900 feet, with a low of 36 degrees. The snow level will fall even further, to about 500 feet, early Wednesday.
Speaking of snow, it’s likely to be in the forecast through the end of the week, as it has been for the past couple weeks, though it remains to be seen whether significant amounts fall. Steve Pierce of the Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorological Society wrote on his recently launched Columbian.com blog, “The forecast is going to be very tricky.”
“There is no doubt that it will be a close call tonight at the lowest elevations,” Pierce wrote. “If the precipitation is heavier than forecasted or sticks around longer, I think there is a greater than normal chance of sticking snow even at the lowest elevations. It will be close for sure!”
