As there will be lots of travel plans into the valley over the next few days, I thought I would pass on this Sepcial Weather Statement from the NWS for the valley:
Potential for freezing rain Thursday night into Friday morning for the North Williamette Valley, Gorge and Hood River Valley.
With the cold air that has been in place this week, there is a chance that some freezing rain could develop in advance of an incoming system. Overall the airmass will be warming, but an easterly pressure graduent through the George may keep pockets of cold air around the area, potentially giving a period of freezing rain overnight Thursday into Friday morning. The chances of this occurring are better in the Gorge and Hood River area.
Even though this is a low probably event, it has the potential to cause a lot of impact due to the holiday travel season. Stay tuned for this potential weather event.
