Winter storm alerts had been issued for the Willamette Valley foothills and Portland mountain roads in Oregon due to snow. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for hazardous driving conditions, urging drivers to use caution and slow down if they must drive.
The winter weather system is expected to bring heavy snow to the higher elevations of the Cascades, which may cause travel disruptions and power outages in the area. Additionally, the Willamette Valley may experience snowfall up to 4 inches with the potential for more.
The Oregon Department of Transportation is prepared to deploy snowplows and salt trucks to clear roads and spread de-icing material to ensure safe travel. They have urged drivers to check road conditions before setting out on their journeys and to carry emergency kits in their vehicles.
The winter storm alerts are expected to remain in place until the weather system passes, and the conditions improve. The National Weather Service has warned that travel could be hazardous, and people are advised to avoid driving if possible until conditions improve.
