"A midweek punch of cold, stormy weather will deliver widespread new snow across the Pacific Northwest, with the biggest totals focused on the Washington Cascades and the Oregon volcanoes. Snow starts with a lighter Sunday night into Monday refresh as snow levels step down, then ramps up sharply Tuesday through Thursday with multiple waves of steadier, heavier snowfall and generally pass-friendly snow levels."
"Sunday night-Monday brings a modest opener that gradually cools the mountains while keeping snowfall fairly light overall. Snow levels slide down from roughly 3,500-4,500 feet early toward about 2,500-3,000 feet by Monday, keeping most precipitation snow at the passes, with a wetter feel at times when temperatures hover near freezing. Totals in this first phase are generally modest, but open areas still get a useful refresh:"
Midweek cold, stormy weather will produce widespread new snow across the Pacific Northwest, with the largest totals in the Washington Cascades and Oregon volcanoes. A lighter Sunday night–Monday round will lower snow levels toward 2,500–3,000 feet, producing modest accumulations and useful refreshes at open areas. Tuesday through Thursday brings back-to-back systems with heavier, steadier snowfall and pass-friendly snow levels, often 1,000–2,000 feet in Washington during the cold core. Powder quality will be best during the colder midweek pulses, then trend denser as snow levels rise late Thursday into Friday. Strong winds are likely at the Oregon volcanoes while Whistler sees steadier, lighter snow. The pattern becomes warmer and drier afterward, favoring fewer new storms.
