The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Cascades. Up to 18 inches of snow is expected to fall in the next two days in some areas of the mountain range. Snow levels were approximately 1,500 feet Monday morning, but were expected to rise to 3,500 feet.
Things are expected to dry out by Wednesday.
