In some areas of Oregon, snowfall and severe winds are expected to be experienced from Sunday night into early Tuesday morning. It is anticipated that heavy snow accumulation will occur in regions located in the western part of Siskiyou County and the upper Cascades.
Snowfall might reach up to one foot in most mountain locations, with a minor probability of two feet near Crater Lake and Diamond Lake, according to the National Weather Service in Medford.
A snowfall of up to one foot is possible in most mountain regions. The presence of winds will make the situation even more difficult, making travel conditions dangerous.
It is expected that snow will predominantly affect elevations that are higher than 3,000 feet, beginning at 10 p.m. on Sunday and continuing until 4 a.m. on Tuesday. It is important for drivers to get themselves ready for winter conditions, which includes carrying chains and allowing for additional travel time.
Caution is strongly recommended by the authorities, particularly for people who are going to travel across the Cascade Mountains or visit the Crater Lake region. There is a high probability that roads will turn snow-covered and slippery, alongside gusty winds that will reduce visibility.
By consulting official sources, travelers should ensure that they are up to date on the latest weather forecasts and traffic conditions.
