Multiple storms to drop snow, rain across the High Desert

A blast of wintry weather is expected to hit Central Oregon in several rounds over the coming days, bringing a mix of snow at higher elevations and rain across the High Desert. Wet weather is expected over the weekend in Bend and surrounding areas with snow accumulations in some areas late on Tuesday and into Wednesday. “We are seeing a train of systems coming through,” said Brandon Lawhorn, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton. Skiers and snowboarders hoping for substantial amounts of snow, however, will have to wait. Snowfall is expected to be around eight inches at higher elevations, forecasters say. In the valleys it could be little more than a dusting. The first system is expected to bring cloudy skies, breezy conditions and scattered showers over the weekend. While temperatures will remain too warm for snow accumulation in Bend, Mt. Bachelor and the Three Sisters could see some snow on Sunday.
