White Christmas?

Winter Storm Watch

... Winter Storm Watch now in effect from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon...

The Winter Storm Watch is now in effect from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon across southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho.

A strong Pacific storm will move across the area Sunday night through Monday with snow accumulating up to 2 inches in the lower valleys and accumulating 3 to 9 inches in the mountains. Below 3000 feet late Sunday night and early Monday morning snow may mix with freezing rain or rain in Malheur County and the Treasure valley. This storm also has the potential for wind gusts of 20 mph to locally 35 mph which would bring areas of blowing and drifting snow with local near whiteout conditions during times of heaviest snow and strongest winds.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations and strong winds that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
