This weather alert is brought to you by Ace Towing.
Winter weather will continue in the area from late tonight into Sunday evening
Snow levels will rise ahead of an advancing front. Precipitation will begin late tonight with a wide range of snow levels, mainly above 6000 feet with the potential for terrain influences to result in trapped cold air in valleys.
This wintry mix of sleet, snow, and perhaps brief, localized freezing rain has the highest probability of occurring in Klamath County early Sunday morning, around 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM.
Snow levels will drop through the day on Sunday into Sunday evening.
A significant accumulation of snow is expected above 4000 to 4500 feet with the snow level falling to around 3500 feet as snow showers taper off during Sunday evening. This system will also produce breezy to windy conditions.
The snow level will be around 6000 feet as precipitation begins late tonight then drop to around 4000 feet during Sunday with significant accumulation continuing through Sunday evening. But, cold air trapped in valleys may produce a few hours of sleet, or brief, localized freezing rain as precipitation begins early Sunday morning.
This risk will be highest near Chiloquin. A wintry mix is also expected in the vicinity of the city of Mount Shasta as precipitation begins early Sunday morning and again as it tapers off Sunday evening.
Significant snow is likely over mountain passes Sunday morning through Sunday night, especially over the High Cascades. 6 to 12 inches are possible over Cascades passes with 1 to 4 inches east of the Cascades (highest amounts near Chemult on Highway 97 and in portions of Modoc County). You can call 511 for Oregon road conditions and for California road conditions call 800-427-ROAD (7623)
