A slushy mixture of rain and snow began to accumulate in downtown Camas just prior to noon on Thursday. The winter storm warning originally issued by the National Weather Service has been downgraded to winter weather advisory. Freezing rain and sleet are expected to continue this evening, and in the higher elevations of Clark County there could be some snow this afternoon.

The snow and ice storm originally predicted to hit the area Thursday morning didn’t quite pan out, but forecasters are now calling for sleet and freezing rain to continue into this afternoon and evening.

The Camas and Washougal school districts announced just after 5 a.m. this morning that all classes were canceled today due to the threat of inclement weather. Other Clark County school districts, including Battle Ground and Vancouver, opted for 2-hour or 2.5 hour late starts.
