A winter weather advisory was issued for areas above 2000 feet along the eastern slopes of the WA Cascades, as snow accumulations of 3-6 inches are expected in the passes. Snow levels will mostly be between 4000-5000 feet through the period, with snow levels in the Kittitas Valley up to the East slopes of the WA Cascades between 2500-3000 feet tonight and rising by Friday afternoon. Ahead of the frontal boundary earlier today, central OR and Grande Ronde valley winds picked up, and are expected to stay breezy into Friday. Lawhorn

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
