"A pair of warm, relatively dense early-season storms will build bases across the Washington and Oregon Cascades this week while open Whistler sees only a light refresh before a cooler, drier weekend. Expect low- to mid-double-digit snow totals at several Washington passes, modest but wind-affected accumulations on the higher Oregon volcanoes, and just a light coating at Whistler, all with snow levels riding near and above pass elevation for much of the week."
"The first Tuesday-to-Wednesday storm delivers a solid round of base-building snow to the Washington Cascades while bringing wetter, higher-elevation snowfall to the Oregon volcanoes. Moist southwest flow ahead of a warm front spreads precipitation into the mountains by late morning, with snow starting near pass level as snow levels sit around 2,400 to 3,500 feet in Washington and near 3,700 feet around Timberline."
A pair of warm, relatively dense storms will build early-season bases across the Washington and Oregon Cascades this week while Whistler receives only a light refresh before colder, drier conditions arrive for the weekend. The first Tuesday-to-Wednesday storm brings steady, medium-density snow to Stevens Pass, Crystal Mountain, Snoqualmie Pass, and Mt. Baker, with upper-mountain totals in the low double digits and snow-to-liquid ratios near 8:1–11:1. Snow levels rise from around 2,400–3,700 feet into and above 5,000 feet overnight, producing rain or mixed precipitation at passes. A second system Wednesday night–Friday yields modest, wind-affected additions, and weekend cooling should firm the new snowpack ahead of likely colder storms in early December.
