ICE STORM: Bottom Line- Get to your destination by afternoon, stay put until later tomorrow. You see approximate start times for ice or mixed precip. This will continue all night into morning. Ice accumulation (pink) may be significant. Snow, ice pellets (blue, peach) east & mtns

READY? these cold weather sunrises are gorgeous but maybe ominous too as we wait for an incoming ice storm. Be prepared for more power outages and stay with KATU News to help you weather the storm #LiveOnK2 #Portland #icestorm #sunrise #tuesdayvibe

RIGHT NOW… more freezing rain in the Gorge here near Multnomah Falls starting to cover the road, slick and windy. And had to inch down Corbett Hill Rd. from Vista House, as it was pure ice. Really freezing up out there! #LiveOnK2 #pdxtraffic #icestorm

Now THIS is what we're used to late January. I'm expecting temperatures to top off near 49 today- the warmest high temp PDX has seen since the 9th of January! Rain will turn to scattered showers later today- tomorrow afternoon looks drier before steady rain returns Wednesday.

WOW… Multnomah Falls has has an adventurous week of flooding, snow, ice, wind and now rain. All that ice quickly melting away, but it sure looked cool dressed as a giant popsicle #LiveOnK2 #Portland #ice #winter #WaterfallWednesday

Good Morning! Just back from Missouri - where it was 25 degrees when we landed- but 60 when we took off 4 days later! Similar variability on the way here- showers, hail today then dry for the next 3 days w/ highs near 60 on the way. 🌦 Break out the shades!😎

We're beginning our drying and warming trend today! High: Upper 50s. I thought I would make something fun- I guess I'm inspired by our brief "false spring" forecast through Saturday! ( Thumbs up or thumbs down? ) Rain returns Sunday along with lower snow levels (500' by Mon).

RIP Richard Lewis

Be prepared for soggy commute- last night's storm system was powerful enough to create strong wind gusts & still producing steady rain. Behind it-- a rapid drop in the snow level that could mean a rain/snow mix down to sea level. ( If not today- then late tonight/early tomorrow.)

☠️

I SEE YOU MOUNT HOOD! Fresh snow on the mountain this morning- what a view from our Gorge Cam! It's an indication of the day's weather... It's a frosty morning in the valleys. Later, a nice mix of clouds and sun. Weekend weather? Showers on both days. Next week? Dry and warmer!

Fire at Timberline Lodge under control now. Embers from the main fireplace seems to be the cause. No injuries reported. Some guest have been relocated to a nearby resort in Welches. Midnight. #LiveOnK2 KATU News

A few more shots of this morning’s derailment. Crews on scene assessing damage. All access to the Steel Bridge is blocked. Numerous TriMet Service Alerts for delays. Crews here tell me this will be an extended closure, so plan accordingly #LiveOnK2 #pdxtraffic

PSU PROTEST: We’re monitoring the occupation of the Portland State University Library. We’ll be here all night in case something happens. Tune in to KATU News starting at 4:30am.

HEADS UP… multiple bridge lifts are under way as the PDX Rose Festival fleet heads outta town. Expect traffic delays while the bridges are up! I’m hearing ship horns sounding as they depart. Be patient, it will be clear soon #LiveOnK2 #pdxtraffic
