The National Weather Service's Salt Lake City and Grand Junction offices issued a series of winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories for Utah mountain areas, many of which could receive a foot of snow or more on Thursday. "Locally higher" amounts of 2 to 3 feet of snow are also possible in some areas.

A series of very wet days are in Portland’s near future as storm systems roll through the region bringing widespread rain, breezy winds, and heavy Cascade snow Friday and throughout the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
