About this listen

 Good morning. Oregon. I'm Michael Mosby. Step outside right now and you're feeling 38 degrees. That's barely a degree warmer than overnight. Winter's hanging on with both hands — spring's just 11 days out, but someone forgot to tell the weather. A cold front is sliding down from the north, bringing scattered showers and a temperature drop as we push into tonight. The Willamette Valley sits in a bit of a rain shadow, so you'll dodge the worst of it. But the Coast Range and Cascades? They're catching everything. Portland and the Willamette Valley see rain showers through the afternoon with highs near 49 degrees. Tonight drops to 34 degrees. And here's where it gets interesting — rain could mix with snow after 2 A.M. As that cold air settles in. Southern Willamette Valley follows the same script, with a brief rain chance around 9 A.M. and highs near 49 degrees before cooling to 33 degrees overnight. Central Oregon stays mostly dry. Mostly sunny skies with a high near 44 degrees. Tonight drops to 24 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Cold air wins out there. The Cascades are under a Winter Weather Advisory through Tuesday afternoon. Snow's piling up at pass level — 4 to 10 inches expected with gusty winds to 40 miles an hour. If you're heading over the mountains, roads will be slick. Not the day to test your tires. Looking ahead. Tuesday brings more rain and snow showers statewide. Wednesday ramps up significantly — rain totals could hit 1 to 2 inches in the valleys, with heavy snow continuing in the mountains. The wet pattern holds through the weekend with temperatures in the low to mid 50s. Charge your phone and grab that rain jacket. See you this afternoon.
