Winter Storm Warning Issued for Southern Oregon Mountains
February 2, 2025 – A Winter Storm Warning is currently in effect for mountainous regions of southern Oregon, set to last until 10:00 p.m. Monday. The National Weather Service has reported that heavy snow accumulation is expected, with additional snowfall of 12 to 14 inches anticipated in the southern Oregon Cascades and Siskiyou Mountains. The warning covers key areas, including the Siskiyou Summit on Interstate 5, Mt. Ashland, Lake of the Woods, and Crater Lake, with the highest totals likely near the Oregon-California border.
Travel conditions are expected to deteriorate significantly, making travel very difficult to nearly impossible in some areas. This hazardous weather could also affect Monday morning commutes. Residents and visitors are urged to postpone any unnecessary travel until conditions improve. Those who must drive are advised to exercise extreme caution, as visibility may change rapidly. Drivers should avoid sudden movements, particularly on hills and while making turns, and ensure that their vehicles are winter-ready and functioning properly.
