After a very thorough soaking over this past weekend we are back to dry weather. Mild, sunny & dry weather is common this time of year as it’s not really the full blown “wet season” just yet; however, gone are the endless days of dry weather. I have forecast details below, but first a quick look at our rainfall totals from the weekend storm. These totals are rounded so they don’t tell the whole story. Salem’s official total from the storm was actually 1.49″. It was both a good start to our rainy season, and it made a big dent in the wildfire situation here in OR.

EXTENDED FORECAST

1.) Slight chance of a shower Wednesday. A very weak system will be sliding by to our north with a few more showers up around Portland. By 5PM the sky should clear up with Wed ending on a dry note.

2.) Thu – Sun look dry. This will be a great stretch of time to either play or get things done outside. Keep in mind it’s the second half of September which means warm temps during the day cool off quickly at night with lows around 52 – 54°. This will likely be the last really mild and dry weekend of the year, so take advantage if you can!!

3.) Mon looks to be wet as showers return to the area.

4.) Tue could end up being a very stormy day, but will have more updates as we get closer. For now at least plan on it being wet.

Take care out there and be kind to each other!
