EUGENE, Ore. — The National Weather Service says a snowstorm is expected to hit the Oregon Cascades on Monday and Tuesday, with 3 to 6 inches in the forecast.
The accumulation won’t be nearly enough to allow skiing at the largely snow-free Willamette Pass and Hoodoo ski areas. The Register-Guard reports that Willamette Pass and Hoodoo are having among their worst seasons ever. They were open for just a few days in early January.
Weather experts have said a large ski-season-saving series of snowstorms is unlikely this spring, given weather patterns over the Pacific Ocean.
But, at least for the next couple days, Western Oregon may get the right mix of moisture-laden clouds and cold air currents to create some mountain snow.
A high of 70 is forecast for Eugene by Thursday, with a high of 60 at Willamette Pass.
