Winter Storm Warnings

Residents of Oregon are advised to exercise caution as multiple Winter Weather Advisories are in place across the state. Freezing rain with ice accumulations is expected to create hazardous travel conditions, particularly in the Eastern Columbia River Gorge, North Central Oregon, Central Oregon, the Foothills of the Blue Mountains, the Lower Columbia Basin, the Upper Hood River Valley, Central Columbia River Gorge, Baker County, Harney County, and Malheur County. Ice accumulation on roads, sidewalks, and bridges can lead to very slippery conditions, affecting cities including Hood River and Pendleton.
