Weekend Storm to Bring 20-30 Inches to the Cascades

Heavy snow is expected to blanket mountain passes in the Cascade Range this weekend, creating hardship for drivers while helping ski areas beef up their snowpack.

A winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service in Portland projects snow levels to drop to 3,000 feet Friday night and again on Saturday and into Sunday.
