NWS issues Winter Weather Advisory for Forest Grove
The Portland office of the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for lower elevations in the region, including in Forest Grove.
"Snow is expected late tonight through Wednesday across southwest Washington and northwest Oregon," the NWS said. "Snow showers will be geographically dependent, and areas that receive more showers will see higher snow amounts."
Snow could accumulate as high as three inches in the region included in the advisory. The advisory is currently expected to end at 12 p.m. Wednesday.
"Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous," the NWS said.
At higher elevation areas as close as one mile outside of Forest Grove city limits, the NWS issued a much more severe Winter Storm Warning.
In places like Timber or the upper regions of Gales Creek, between one and seven inches of snow could accumulate.
