We need snow badly!
This weekend, a weak atmospheric river will bring moderate to locally heavy rainfall to the Pacific Northwest which could result in isolated flooding. Higher elevations of the Cascades will likely see some snowfall.
For the latest forecast stay up to date with your local NWS office at weather.gov.

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes into early Monday.

This isn't what we mean about regular flow of traffic🥤
Our crews are working to clean up after a semi truck collided with a guardrail and fell into a ditch, losing its load of Poppi soda.
Tell a friend that we've still got the right lanes closed while crews work on this clean up and repair.

➡️ 14 years ago today was the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We take a moment to remember all of those lives lost and damage done. May it serve as a reminder for what can happen in our state.
