The Pacific Northwest is experiencing a series of moisture-rich disturbances, bringing rain and mountain snow through Wednesday morning. A weak front moving inland is responsible for the initial wave of precipitation. Lower elevations can expect mostly light rain, making for slick roads and damp conditions. Higher elevations, particularly across the Cascades and the Northern Intermountain Region, are forecast to receive accumulating snow. This snow will be beneficial for the ski season but may also create hazardous travel conditions.
