1.69 inches of rain fell in Salem between Friday and Tuesday making that the wettest stretch of days we have seen since the ice storm back in February! Goes to show just how dry this spring has been. It was good to see so much rain fall across the region as we desperately needed it.

Looking ahead I see lots of warm and even very hot weather on tap with highs in the 80s both Friday and Saturday.

Highs soar into the 90s for the second time this month on Sun – Tue. Monday will be the hottest day with highs reaching the upper 90s and lows only down into the mid 60s. YIKES!!!!

Very warm weather continues through most of next week as well with one possible twist. I’m watching for a chance of thunderstorms probably just along and east of the Cascades on Tuesday, but this could change as it’s still several days away. Definitely something I’m keeping an eye on.

Enjoy the hot weather, and stay safe and cool.
