PDX officially received 2.2 inches of snow from the system on Tuesday night, on Friday lots of flooding happened in the Salem area due to 5-6 inches of rain in 3 days.
Also the ski resorts had lots of new snow, the image below shows 1 week snowfall totals as of 1/22/12
Now tomorrow a warm front will bring a large amount of moisture to our area (image below)
Rainfall totals will be around 1-2 inches in the valley and 4-5 inches in the coast range
After this system clears out of here on Thursday night a ridge of high pressure will develop and push the jet stream up to our north, which makes the storms from the pacific ride over the high pressure. (image below)
Now due to the high pressure we will most likely get an inversion due to the lack of mixing, which will create fog.
