Cold rain and mountain snow

PORTLAND, Oregon — Clouds roll in overnight and rain follows mid to late morning in the Portland area.

Strong east winds also developed on Wednesday, all making for a cold, wet day with highs in the low 40s.

The Cascades and Gorge are under Winter Storm Warnings for heavy snow. 
Two to three feet will fall in the mountains, 4 to 10 inches in the Gorge.

We catch a break with dry weather Friday, followed by rain showers and sunbreaks over the weekend.

Temperatures begin to recover with highs in the mid to upper 40s this weekend, and low to mid 50s early next week.

Have a great Valentine’s Day.
