Today's weather summary -
The first in a series of winter storms will have impact region wide over the next 24 hours. High to strong winds have been the most widespread and high impact over the region from the storm so far. Expect they will continue into the afternoon from the Cascades west. Areas east of the Cascades will see the winds die down later this evening.
Rains will be spreading over the area. They will be heaviest along the coast, and then through the Coast Range with amounts up to 4 inches possible. Areas closest to the Coast Range, but to the east of them could also be seeing those heavier rains. Areas inland west of the Cascades will be seeing 0.75 to as much as 2 inches being possible. The lightest rains will be east of the Cascades per usual. Most areas will be under a half inch for a storm total. Higher terrain may get more.
Snow levels will be around 5000 feet overall. They would be more likely to be higher, and less likely to be lower. But, both things could happen. Amounts of snow will be light with no major impact expected. And, that would be in the southern Oregon Cascades from Highway 58 south.
