The NWS expects the next storm system to be stronger than either of the 2 earlier storms this week and plans to issue a WINTER STORM WARNING for Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening.
Today’s 12:30 p.m. weather briefing from the National Weather Service predicts the following impacts for Clark County:
Weather and Temperatures:
• Temperatures will be at or below freezing Friday afternoon through Monday morning.
• Snow will begin Saturday early afternoon and transition to freezing rain around 12 midnight. Snow accumulation may range from 4 – 10 inches, depending on when the transition to freezing rain occurs. Freezing rain will continue through Sunday. Significant ice accumulation up to ½ inch is expected Saturday and Sunday. Monday, the freezing rain will transition back to snow in the morning with the temperature hovering around freezing on Monday.
• The east wind will be strong in the east county areas, especially near Camas and Washougal with gusts up to 45 MPH.
A Winter Storm Warning means, "The hazard is occurring or imminent and poses a threat to life and property."
