Latest Northwest Snow Map

By AccuWeather, $content.credit

Last update: November 6, 2009 - 2:25 PM

Rain and mountain snow started falling across the Northwest on Thursday and does not want to let up. A storm churning over the Gulf of Alaska will continue to send moisture onshore, causing the wet weather to persist into Saturday night.

The above graphic displays how much snow is expected to accumulate tonight into Saturday. One to 2 feet (30-60 cm) of new snow will further bury most of the Cascades and the coastal mountains of British Columbia. Additional snow Saturday night will add to these totals.

Snow levels started quite high when the wet weather arrived on Thursday.

Tonight into Saturday, snow levels will range from 1,500 feet (450 m) in central British Columbia to 3,000 feet in the Washington Cascades and 4,000 feet in the Oregon Cascades. These snow levels should fall even more Saturday night. Travelers through the region's passes, including I-90's Snoqualmie Pass, should prepare for treacherous conditions and potential delays.
