ALT There will be a mix of wintry precipitation affecting the area beginning tonight (2/12) and continuing into Friday (2/14). Commutes will begin to be affected starting early tomorrow morning (2/13) in the central/southern Willamette Valley and late tomorrow morning in the Portland/Vancouver metro. We do have concerns folks in the Portland/Vancouver metro will wake up for work, notice it is still dry out and head to work, then have a very tough time getting back home from work in the evening as periods of light snow and freezing rain will occur between 9am-5pm. Please drive with caution if you are commuting during these times, and dial 511 or visit the Department of Transportation's website for road conditions. Also prior to travel, visit weather.gov/portland for the most up-to-date weather forecast.
ALT Electronic sign over freeway partially covered in snow says "Slipper, use caution." The road is covered with a thin blank of snow and it is actively snowing.
ALT On a blue background, it reads, “Food, water and hot beverages will be provided, with some clothing and other supplies available as well. For anyone who needs help getting to the warming shelter, call 2-1-1 for transportation assistance. You can also ride a TriMet bus or train there for free; just tell the driver or operator that you are going to a warming space.” The outline of the Cultivate Initiatives logo is at the bottom of the page.
ALT On a blue background, it reads, “The warming shelter that we are operating in partnership with Multnomah County is closing today at 12 PM but will be opening again tonight at 8 PM (February 12) until at least 12Pm tomorrow. Located at Cook Plaza (19421 SE Stark St., Gresham), this shelter will be open to anyone who needs to warm up overnight. Pets are also welcome.” A small green arrow is in the bottom corner indicating there is more information.

ALT Cronología de Planificación Ante Tormentas Invernales Unos días antes: Si el pronóstico indica tiempo invernal, comience a prepararse ahora. Tenga suministros de emergencias para su casa y carro, verifique los detectores de humo y de monóxido de carbono, y llene de combustible su auto y fuentes de calefacción. El día antes: La precisión del pronóstico continúa mejorando, así que manténganse monitoreando las actualizaciones. Ajuste sus planes, tenga múltiples maneras de recibir los Avisos, y traiga las mascotas al interior y asegúrese de que tengan agua. Durante y después: Permanezca vigilante y manténgase informado. Maneje solo de ser necesario. Verifique a su familia y vecinos, ventile adecuadamente las fuentes de calefacción de emergencia, mantenga los generadores al menos a 20 pies de distancia de su casa, y tómelo con calma cuando palee.
ALT Winter Storm Planning Timeline A few days out: If the forecast calls for winter weather, start preparing now. Have emergency supplies for your home and car, check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and replenish fuel for your car and heating sources. The day before: Forecast accuracy continues to improve, so keep checking the latest. Adjust plans, have multiple ways to receive warnings, and bring pets indoors and ensure they have water.

Check on neighbors and family, properly ventilate emergency heat sources, keep generators at least 20 feet from your home, and take it easy when shoveling.
