PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A flash of wintry weather has moved its way into Portland, resulting in a light snow/rain mix and graupel falling across the metro area.

But don’t expect the snow to stick around since, according to the National Weather Service, the snow’s stint in town will be brief.

“We’re expecting mainly rain throughout the day since incoming southwesterly winds will help warm us up,” NWS Portland said in a tweet. “Any significant snow accumulations will be confined to elevations above 2000ft.”

So now is the time to get out and enjoy it while it lasts.
