Areas affected...Southwest OR into extreme northern CA

Concerning...Heavy snow

Valid 032201Z - 040100Z

SUMMARY...Locally heavy snow rates will continue through the
afternoon.

DISCUSSION...Moderate to locally heavy precipitation is ongoing this
afternoon from northern CA into southwest OR, in association with a
midlevel shortwave trough and an extensive plume of moisture
emanating from the eastern Pacific. Colder temperatures to the north
of a stationary front across northern CA are supporting heavier snow
rates across parts of southwest OR, including recent observations of
heavy snow at KMFR. Moderate to locally heavy wet snow may persist
at lower elevations through the afternoon, given the presence of
heavier precipitation rates and a lack of near-surface warm
advection, while heavy snow rates will continue across favored
upslope regions at higher elevation.
