We have some chilly mornings on tap the rest of this week with lows dipping into the 40s, but what we are still not seeing in the forecast is any sort of appreciable rain. We have not had measurable rain in Salem since May 10th!! That is quite the streak for what is typically a showery time of the year. Yes, maybe a sprinkle or two Thursday, and may be a few sprinkles Monday; otherwise it looks like our long dry stretch is going to continue.
Still looking about the same as yesterday’s forecast with only some minor changes. Basically a small chance for some drizzle Saturday and a small chance for a sprinkle next Wednesday. No actual rain or soaking showers, and no hot days anytime soon either. It looks like we are temporarily done with highs in the 80s for at least the next 7 or 8 days.
In other news the Han Solo Star Wars movie comes out tonight. Hoping it’s a good one 😉
Areas to the east of the Cascades have a fairly high chance of seeing thunderstorms Wednesday through Saturday evening. Keep that in mind if your travels take you over there as there could likely be a good soaking rain those days.
As for the Cascades themselves, thunderstorms look most likely closer to the crest of the Cascades. Places like Detroit Lake should stay storm free with only a light shower or two possible.
Sunday will kick off a nice dry stretch for both Central Oregon and the Cascade Range.
The coast will see a bit of drizzle Thursday morning and much of the day Saturday. The rest of the weekend and into next week should be dry.
Don’t be scared by the raindrops Saturday. They will be nothing more than a light drizzle and only for part of the day. A small chance for a quick rain shower later today & tonight (Wednesday), but that won’t be very much either.
Bottom line here is: no widespread rain or good soaking in sight which means our drier, sunnier, & warmer than normal May will continue.
It’s mid May already and the nice weather is going to continue for at least the next several days.
No rain in sight.
Friday & Saturday: Still looking pretty mild.
Sunday & Monday: Lots of clouds around and it’s looking like it should stay dry.
Tuesday: We warm right back up.
