The weather around Salem has been fairly unremarkable lately, but sometimes that’s the best kind of weather. The chilly mornings and warm afternoons have been super nice, and Thursday will keep that trend going. Just for reference, our average high for this time of year is 72°, and our average low temperature is 47°. So our highs have been warmer than normal by quite a bit, but our lows have remained on the cooler side of average. Here’s a few highlights of what to expect over the next seven days.

Thursday: After a real chilly start with lows around 43°. High temperatures should reach close to 80°.

Friday: Rain giving way to a few afternoon showers. Highs in the mid 60s.

Sat: Higher chance for widespread fog due to the extra leftover moisture from the rain Friday. As a result, I expect highs near 70° after starting out in the upper 40s.

Sun – Tue: Mostly sunny. Highs 75 to 80° and lows 42 to 45°.

Other than some rain on Friday, there are no signs of any wild weather or any extended periods of rain. Enjoy the cool mornings and warm afternoons, and stay safe!
