COLD WEATHER ADVISORY FOR MOUNTAIN AREAS IN SOUTHERN OREGON

February 8, 2025 6:00 a.m. 

A Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect from 7:00 p.m. Sunday through 9:00 a.m. Wednesday for mountain areas in much of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said very cold temperatures as low as 5 degrees below zero are expected.

The Advisory area includes the south central and southern Oregon Cascades and Siskiyou Mountains, the Klamath Basin, western Lake county and surrounding areas.

Forecasters said very cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure. Persisting snow cover could minimize warming and clear skies overnight would allow for radiative cooling to be increased. Under these conditions, localized areas may see temperatures drop significantly below forecast values.

Residents should use caution while traveling outside, wear appropriate clothing, a hat and gloves. Keep pets indoors as much as possible.
